Tackling such challenges creates opportunities to increase our capacity and production in areas where there are clear shortages in the field. tackling the nation’s But there are three other factors in our approach that are worth noting:

Educator l 4 l Summer 2008 MATH-SCIENCE INITIATIVES College Launching Two Major Programs to Address Math-Science Teacher Shortage

When it comes to the teaching of math and science in this country, there clearly is a crisis — both in terms of teacher shortages and the quality of the teachers who are teaching these critical subjects. Partly as a result, U.S. students are lagging far behind much of the world in math and science, and our country’s ability to remain an innovative and economic leader is threatened.

Educator l 15 l Summer 2008 Educator l 16 l Summer 2008 Lee M. Yoder Our Man in Cairo “What about Egypt?” a New York educational consultant, Rollin Baldwin, asked Lee M. Yoder, EdD ’79, MEd ’66, eight years ago when they met in Washington, D.C. “I don’t know, what about Egypt?” replied a puzzled Yoder.

A Mennonite and Pennsylvania German speaker from Belleville, Pa. (south of State College), Yoder had spent nearly four decades as a suburban Philadelphia social studies teacher and high school principal, and a university and college professor and administrator in Virginia. He had majored in history as an undergrad at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Va., but he had never been to Egypt and knew little about it. Yet what Baldwin told him intrigued Yoder. An Egyptian family that ran a series of private schools was seeking a superintendent to open an American-style school in Cairo. So Yoder flew to Egypt for a week in March 2000.

I hear constantly from alumni about how they’ve been inspired by stories in Educator to get involved in our community by volunteering to help students or contributing to the College of Education. As the director of development, I am grateful for every dollar you contribute.

But it’s not just a one-way street. We want to give back to you, our alumni, as well. I urge you to view the college as a continuing resource. Interested in volunteering? We can make that happen through our Making a Difference Project. Interested in networking with other educators? We can facilitate and support those kinds of relationships through a large database we maintain for your use.

Meanwhile, the exciting intellectual activity that is captivating our campus isn’t limited to our faculty and students.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT WWW.TEMPLE.EDU/ACCESSTOEXCELLENCE. Why I Give First is my desire to give something back to Temple University. The school gave me a full undergraduate scholarship. Without that I may not have gone to college. In addition, I was hired as an undergraduate to be a lab instructor, which helped pay for some of those bologna sandwiches that kept my roommates and me alive. My annual giving was moderate until near retirement, when I found that I had enough resources to do more. This included the matching grant program from Medtronic Inc., my employer for 30 years. Final credit is due to Ron Costello, former member of the Development Office, who ventured out here to the Midwest and then brought all the ingredients together to make it happen. Without his personal contact and friendship the scholarship probably would not have been created. I noted that American universities are turning out excellent scientists, but not enough of them. Young people are not motivated to follow science as a career. Reflecting that my own interest in science was encouraged by my teachers from sixth grade on, I decided that my donations would be most effective if aimed at improving the quantity and quality of science teachers. As a personal example I think about my Temple classmate Dan Hanlon, who taught high school physics in suburban Philadelphia. His love of math and physics and his enthusiasm for teaching motivated many of his students to go on to become physics majors. And this was during the decades when interest in science was waning throughout American high schools. So, at a personal level, I think of the Kenneth Brennen Scholarship which I fund as a tribute to the career of my friend Dan. —Kenneth Brennen, PhD, BA ’62, MA ’66, College of Science and Technology
