Brendan Kelly, who graduated from TCNJ in 2008 with a degree in Mathematics, returned to campus on September 8th to give a talk to department students and faculty. His talk, titled “How many ways can I get to the coffee shop?” centered around how posing good questions is critical to the problem-solving process. He explored the importance of asking good questions, and showed techniques that help empower students to ask those good questions.
Brendan was the 2015 recipient of the Joseph R. Levenson Memorial Teaching Prize at Harvard University.
