Cassie has made personal and professional connections through her involvement on campus. She is in the Urban Cohort Program, co-chair of the EHS Ambassadors, and serves on the board for the Miami University Council of Teachers of Mathematics. In her spare time, she is working on writing a fantasy novel.

About the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship

The MU-Noyce Scholars program, funded by the National Science Foundation and offered jointly through the College of Education, Health and Society and the College of Arts and Science, responds to the critical need for mathematics and science teachers by encouraging promising science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students and STEM professionals to pursue teaching careers in high-needs schools. 

These schools are often located in communities that are culturally, racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse. Students in these schools are frequently taught by teachers who hold negative stereotypes about them and their communities. Having someone as knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate as Cassie will benefit the MU-Noyce Scholars program as they work with these target communities.
