Undergraduate Viewbook - Framingham State University

in 2010, a record 46,000 recent college graduates applied to the
Teach for America (TFA) program, including 12 percent of all
seniors at Ivy League schools. Out of all those applicants, TFA
chose only about 5,500 to join their teaching corps. Danielle
Farmer was one of them. And although she’s never taught before,
Danielle says she’ll model her teaching style after her FSU
professors, especially Dr. Jon Huibregtse, who served as her
honors paper advisor.
“Dr. Huibregtse has this way of building you up and challenging you
without overwhelming you. He’s not the easiest grader but he gives you
the support you need to be successful. He also knows how to engage his
students and keep you focused, which is what I want to do with my
students, because, in the end, you get so much more out of a class if
you’re challenged.”
