Mathematics Faculty Receives Mini-Grant for Student Research Project
Dr. Shelletta Baker was awarded a mini-grant from the Center of Undergraduate Research in Mathematics (CURM) for the 2026-27 year. The award will provide funds for Dr. Baker to work with five early career student participants at FSCJ.
Through this grant, FSCJ will partner with Georgia Gwinnett College to engage students in collaborative, year‑long research experiences that deepen mathematical understanding, strengthen problem‑solving skills and build pathways toward future academic and professional success.
Dr. Baker and participating faculty are invited attend the Summer Faculty Workshop in New Orleans, LA. In addition, Dr. Baker and selected students will attend a regional mathematics conference where they will present their work in spring 2027. At the end of the award year, students will submit a final research paper to CURM.
"Receiving this grant reflects both the strength of Dr. Baker’s proposal and her commitment to expanding meaningful learning opportunities for students," said Interim Dean of Mathematics Le'Titia Parsons-Davis.
CURM is an National Science Foundation (NSF)‑funded program that supports high‑impact undergraduate research experiences in mathematics.
