Guest Speaker!
Dina Yagodich
Dina Yagodich is a mathematics professor at Frederick Community College, teaching everything from the
"I hate math" math class to Differential Equations, teaching for the past 17 years. She has a Bachelor's degree from Cornell University in Electrical Engineering, and two Master's degrees from Johns Hopkins University in Electrical Engineering and Applied Mathematics.
​
"My fellow math faculty at the community college where I teach are inspirational. They love what they do - even when things get frustrating - because they care deeply about our students. We aren’t afraid to change - whether it’s rethinking how we approach developmental math or integrating lower-cost materials in our classes."
Dina Yagodich, Professor at Frederick Community College
