Dr. Mark Holmes, Professor, Department of Mathematics. As the Faculty Coach in the School of Science, Mark Holmes will work with science faculty to promote better mentoring and career advancement initiatives. He will meet regularly with individual faculty members to gauge their career progress toward tenure and promotion. Dr. Holmes recently received both an award for Outstanding Teaching at Rensselaer, and an NSF grant to broaden the participation of students and postdocs in mathematics. His grant team is exploring ways to combine research, mentoring, and broad educational experiences. The team will look at ways to make innovative curricular changes to increase the number of students who enroll in graduate studies in mathematics as preparation for careers in academia or industry. |
