Regional Recipient

Sylvie Beaulieu

Sylvie Beaulieu was nominated by a former student who credits her with inspiring him to go on to a career in science. He singled out as key factors in his decision Ms. Beaulieu's ability to show the practical applications of mathematics and to encourage students to embrace mathematics. Ms. Beaulieu amazes her students at Collège Jean-de-Brebeuf in Montreal, Quebec, with her energy and enthusiasm. She teaches a full agenda of courses and is pursuing a master's degree in education. Still, students find she can always arrange to spend extra time working on a difficult concept or helping individuals.
