Along with teaching courses in calculus, geometry, and linear algebra, Senior Lecturer of Mathematics and Statistics Jeff Tecosky-Feldman directs the Chesick Summer Institute, a vital part of the Chesick Scholars Program, a four-year academic mentoring and leadership program for under-represented, under-resourced, or first-generation Haverford students that includes a residential summer program.

Tecosky-Feldman's interest in under-represented groups in science has also led him to become the director of MSP (formerly known as the Multicultural Scholars Program). Five years ago, he worked with Dean Michael Martinez to launch Horizons and also finds time to help run the annual Yiddish Culture Festival on campus. Photo: Patrick Montero
