Teacher to young adults
Dr. Jairam loves watching college students discover who they are as adults and how their learning can be helpful to them in their lives and future careers. She says that her students challenge her to grow as both a teacher and a person.
Source of support
Understanding math is often the key to enjoying it, so Dr. Jairam spends time studying how students learn most effectively. She encourages students to stop by her office with questions or to make use of the Student Success Center for tutoring help. She even makes personalized recommendations of tutors who would be a good fit for students.
Hands-on mom
Outside of work, Dr. Jairam likes to read, travel and stay active with her two boys. She is also involved in volunteering for her church, children’s school and local recreation program.
