Congrats to Emily Tigchelaar on being named this year’s Mathematics Student of the Year! 🧡📚✨📈
Emily was voted by the Math Department as the student who best exemplifies excellence in math—both in and out of the classroom! From solving equations to excelling in creative problem-solving and leading by example, Emily has crushed it this year. Not only was she All-Conference for Mathletes, but she also shared her knowledge and passion as a peer tutor. #LeadTheWay #GetInvolved
