“I have a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and a master’s degree in matheducation, both from Troy University. I am also near completion of a Ph.D.in mathematics at Auburn and have nearly 20 years’ experience in teachingmathematics. With these credentials, I am qualified to teach at almost anyschool in the nation, yet I choose to work at Trenholm State. At Trenholm,I’m part of a family–talented, caring faculty who believe passionately in

the mission of Alabama’s two-year colleges and who are devoted to helping our students realizetheir dreams for a better life. It’s a great place to teach and learn!

Today’s employers are looking for a different kind of graduate–one who can think critically andsolve complex problems independently and accurately. No subject equips a student with theseskills more than mathematics. As a math instructor at Trenholm State, I have a passion forhelping our students improve their abilities to analyze information, reason logically, and use thetools of mathematics to solve real-world problems.

No subject seems to generate more fear and feelings of inadequacy among people thanmathematics. But no subject is more important to success in today’s workplace thanmathematics! My goal as a math instructor at Trenholm is to help each of my students improvehis/her ability to analyze problems, reason through them logically, and strategically work to findan accurate solution–and in the process, to build confidence and inspire a can-do attitude.”

Vicky OhlsonMath Instructor
