Promising
Teachers Eight MHC students have been awarded scholarships from
the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Science, Technology, Engineering,
Mathematics Teacher Education Collaborative, STEMTEC. The criteria for
selection are a strong academic background and an interest in teaching
as a potential career choice. The teaching scholars will be honored
at a banquet at Amherst College on September 28. The winners are Elizabeth
Burrows '02, Sarah Cutler '03 (Distinguished Teaching Scholar)
Jamie Schefiliti '01, Patricia Smith FP, Meghan Spellacy '03,
Anna Truoiolo '03, Christine Vaughn '01, and Lindsey Von Holtz
'02. Students with an interest in teaching at the elementary through
high school levels with an academic emphasis in math or science can
apply to the NSF/STEMTEC Teaching Scholars Program. Those accepted into
the Teaching Scholars Program receive scholarship awards and become
part of a program that provides support services to aid them in their
teaching career goals including mentors, advising, and other STEMTEC
and campus-based information resources. This program is open to students
who attend or plan to attend one of the eight colleges in the STEMTEC
collaborative (Amherst College, Greenfield Community College, Hampshire
College, Holyoke Community College, Mount Holyoke, Smith College, Springfield
Technical Community College, or the University of Massachusetts, Amherst).
Students do not have to be currently enrolled in a teacher certification
program to apply. This year there are about sixty scholars. Click
