Dr. Patricia W. Beaulieu: Shaping Futures in STEM |
|
|
Dr. Patricia W. Beaulieu's early years, near the historical Tuskegee University in the heart of Alabama, set the stage for a luminous career in STEM education. Her academic path took her from Oberlin College, known for its commitment to gender and racial equality, to earning a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Louisiana State University (LSU). Dr. Beaulieu's profound impact as a STEM educator at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette for over thirty years is a testament to her belief in the transformative power of education. Her dedication to Mathematics Teacher Education, underscored by her involvement in NSF-funded projects, reflects her commitment to unveiling the vast landscape of STEM possibilities to her students. Drawing inspiration from the historical legacy of Tuskegee and the pioneering spirit of Oberlin College, she embodies Booker T. Washington's principle of lifting others by enriching the minds and futures of those she teaches. |
