Recently, Joe joined the First News Nebraska news team. Joe gained experience as a color commentator for Illinois Wesleyan’s basketball broadcasts, which no doubt helped pave the path to his current career.
Here is a bit of news about a member of our class, Laura Hones ’13.
Laura was hired for the SAGA Fellowship program in Chicago. The SAGA Fellowship program is a full-time, in-school professional math tutoring opportunity which serves students in Chicago Public Schools for one year. SAGA tutoring happens during a stand-alone class period and is built into the school day schedule. Each Fellow is assigned a personal caseload of 14 students and works with the same students everyday in small groups as well as communicates with their parents weekly.
Here is a link with more information about the program, which is “dedicated to transforming American public education” (http://www.sagainnovations.org/).
Congratulations, Laura on your work and dedication. Best of luck to you!
