Tim Julian

Attending Penn State Harrisburg has been a wonderful experience rich with opportunities. From my classes, I garnered a strong grasp of pedagogy and a solid understanding of the Mathematics I will be teaching. I feel this is certainly a direct result of the rigor of the program. Moreover, Penn State Harrisburg has provided me with a wealth of professional development, from hosting various speakers to flying with a group of my peers to Los Angeles so that we could attend national conventions. The program has also provided me with ample time to observe and teach in the classroom at various local school districts. From these experiences I know that I am ready to enter the field of education.
