A mathematician and mathematics educator, Suzanne Larson and colleagues Jackie Dewar and Thomas Zachariah were among the first scholars nationally to translate the SENCER ideals into practical strategies to improve quantitative literacy for the college student population.  The course they developed with SENCER support has been named a national model.

As a SENCER Leadership Fellow, Suzanne will be expanding her work to focus on applying SENCER ideals to courses for more mathematically-sophisticated students.  Both Suzanne and Jackie Dewar will be assisting the SENCER program to build alliances with the national mathematics education community.

Suzanne was elected to the inaugural class of Leadership Fellows in July 2008.
