RISING STARS
Jennifer Blose, a senior from Catasaqua and graduate of Catasaqua Area High School, is a member of BU's team in an international mathematics modeling competition that attracts nearly 10,000 top mathematics students from around the world. A dual major in Mathematics and Secondary Education/Mathematics with a minor in computer science, she serves as a community advisor at Elwell Residence Hall. The three-member teams are given "real world" problems to solve on a Thursday evening and must provide an answer with no outside help to their advisor by Monday. This year's problem dealt with implications of polar cap melting on American coastlines. In three group has placed once and won two honorable mentions, considered distinguished achievements in the grueling competition. She's considering going on to graduate programs to find her niche in mathematics and perhaps eventually teach.
