Kathy Galvin
Kathy Galvin has been teaching and learning for more than thirty years as a classroom educator, consultant, and national presenter. Kathy's passion is adolescent literacy, and she is an avid reader. Since her "retirement" as a middle-level educator, Kathy shares her expertise as an adjunct professor and literacy consultant. She has taught courses for graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, Concordia, and Cardinal Stritch University. Kathy has also worked with Cooperative Educational Service Agencies, school districts, administrators, and teachers in the areas of Adolescent Literacy, the Common Core Standards, Disciplinary Literacy, Differentiation, Vocabulary, and Formative Assessments.
Sherry Scott
Sherry received her undergraduate degree in mathematics from The Ohio State University and her PhD from University of Maryland, College Park. Her background is in harmonic analysis and wavelet theory, but research applications have led to a dynamical systems point of view. Her past work involved two main application areas (1) general signal processes and (2) fluid flows. Recent interest/work involves the detection and measurement of the tortuosity – i.e. the bending and winding - of vessels as beneficial information for the diagnosis of many diseases - e.g. cancer. In 2019, she was selected as a participant with the African Diaspora Joint Mathematics (ADJOINT) 2020 Workshop, and as a result, she worked with the Mathematics of the Transmission Dynamics and Control of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus research group led by Dr. Abba Gumel. The airborne transmission of COVID-19 and other respiratory infections is now a part of her fluid flow research interests.
Sherry whole-heartedly believes in the need and importance of STEM in overall and general education and to this end, she is a champion of mathematical literacy.
