The National Science Foundation has awarded mathematics Professor Beverly Ferrucci a grant to attend the 12th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME) in Seoul, Korea, this summer. ICME is held once every four years and is one of the largest international congresses in mathematical education, serving as a forum for mathematics educators, researchers, mathematicians, and practicing teachers from all over the world to present their latest research and to discuss trends in mathematics education from international perspectives.

A KSC Distinguished Teacher,  Dr. Ferrucci was selected from a pool of more than 500 applicants by a committee of representatives from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the Mathematical Association of America, the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges, the American Mathematical Society, and the US National Commission on Mathematics Instruction. She will serve as the editor of the Congress’ international research publication that will be published jointly by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Mathematical Association of America.
