Hi everyone! I am pleased to be joining the Whitaker Center at FGCU. This center is a resource for STEM Education among faculty and the community. Along with the leadership team several events are being planned for this year. Stay tuned for the details. I hope everyone will have a chance to participate.

About Me

Originally from Pennsylvania, I have a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Univ. of Pennsylvania. After graduating, I moved south to Georgia. In the years since, I think I have taught almost every college chemistry course there is at least once. I love teaching and even more, I love watching students learn. Students in my classes learn best when they discover the knowledge for themselves with my assistance. I hope to share some of my experiences in STEM Teaching and Learning with you and help you in your efforts.

I didn’t make this journey alone; I have a very supportive family including my husband, Baxter, two elementary aged children, and two cats.

Opportunities

If you share a passion for teaching, learning, and/or its scholarship: email, call, or stop by the Whitaker Center for a visit!

If you have an idea you want to explore related to STEM Education, I want to help you realize it.

Here are some areas where we might partner:

• Measuring student learning and/or teaching effectiveness
• Publishing research articles on STEM teaching and learning topics
• Coordinating your STEM education grants
• Evaluating your STEM education grants
• Consulting and observing your course design
• Coordinating K-12 or community outreach efforts
• Planning other STEM related events

Hope to meet you soon,

Laura Frost
