(Auburn University, 2009, served as Graduate Teaching
Assistant teaching courses in statistics and calculus);
Currently enrolled in Auburn’s Educational Psychology
PhD program.
Career: “In 2009, I began working at Auburn University
as the Diversity Analyst. I am responsible for providing
quantitative and qualitative data related to programs
and training within the office; developing and utilizing
data-gathering tools such as surveys and
questionnaires needed to collect diversity data; and
analyzing data, trends, and impacts of diversity
initiatives and programs.”
Advice: “Explore the different areas of mathematics to
find where your interests lie, and then research and
investigate how you can use those interests in forming
a career path. Also, get to know your classmates and
professors and don't be afraid to ask for help! The time
I spent at Campbellsville University is such a treasured
period in my life, and I hope that you will have the
same wonderful experience!”

Start with an 11 inch by ¾ inch strip of paper. (Experiment with other sizes too!)
Tie a “knot” in the end of your paper. Pull gently to tighten.
Fold the end of the strip down and tuck it into the knot. You can cut a bit of it off if it is too long.
Now wrap the other end around this pentagon you have formed, creasing gently as you go.
Keep wrapping until you get to the end of the strip. Tuck the last bit into the pouch.
Very gently use your fingernail to press on the center of each of its edges. The star should puff out!

Important Dates
Solution to August problem:
In step 5, it says to divide both sides by
A - B, but A = B, so this would mean to divide by
zero. That’s not possible!
