Congratulations to Dr. Jennifer Love (20 years!) – Associate Teaching Professor and Associate Director, for the Center and Nicolas Fuchs (10 years!) – Program Manager for the Center for their many years at Northeastern!
Yesterday, Jen and Nick joined many other Northeastern faculty and staff at the NEU Service Recognition Reception (~100 people in person, but ~800 total across the university), celebrating their 5, 10, 15, and 20 year milestones. At the reception, Jen and Nick ran into a few STEM-affiliated friends being recognized, including Amy Mueller (CEE Professor), Rifat Sipahi (MIE Professor), Richard West (ChemE Professor) and Jose Martinez-Lorenzo (MIE Professor), all who have actively engaged with the Center in STEM outreach over the years. Also Mariah Nobegra (in research development), John Furtado (engineering computer center) and Joseph Aoun (university president).
Jennifer Love started at Northeastern in 2006, after working 8 years at Reebok as a biomechanics engineer; since then, she was a first-year engineering teacher, teaching GE cornerstone, Engineering Design, Career Management, as well as additional other classes Mechanics of Materials (COE MIE) and at the Lowell Institute. Currently she serves as Associate Director for the Center for STEM Education (started in 2022) and teaches GE 4956: Experiential Engineering Education, and Career Management.
Nicolas Fuchs started at Northeastern in 2016; before that he was a ME Masters student at Northeastern, physics teacher at BCLA, and robotics teacher at Mario Umana Academy. Since then he has served as first the Implementation Coordinator and now the Program Manager for the Center for STEM Education, leading K12 outreach offerings and serving as primary technical support.
Also big props to Claire Duggan (Executive Director) [45 years!] and Mary Howley (Administrative Assistant) [43 years!]!
