Khalilah Reddie
Chemistry
Khalilah Reddie has an enthusiasm for teaching that has raised student success rates in Organic Chemistry.
I lead by example, because I work really hard for my students. It makes them want to work hard for themselves.
Grace Hansen '23
Biology, UTeach
Grace Hansen is researching sports nutrition and brain injuries.
I’ve always wanted to find a way to combine sports and science.
Lukas Lazarek '18
Computer Science
Lukas Lazarek’s summer research fellowship in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University helped prepare him for graduate school – and won him an award.
I visited UMass Lowell two or three times, and I liked the feel of it. The people I talked to were doing interesting things, and there seemed to be opportunities to get involved.
Morgan Tierno '20
Biology and UTeach
Biology teacher Morgan Tierno’s student teaching and first year on the job were complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic and major social issues. But, she says, UTeach prepared her for those challenges.
Sometimes, the most important thing to do as a teacher is just to listen and be there for your students.
