Sheree Sharpe demonstrates excellence in all aspects of teaching, research and service. She enthusiastically supports all levels of academic life, and her strengths enrich the culture and mission of the department, college and university.
During her time at UNH, Sharpe has made many strong contributions to the teaching mission at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. She is a creative and inspiring educator whose course evaluations are consistently among the highest in the department. She gives generously of her time to students at all levels.
An undergraduate mathematics education major writes, “I strive to create a classroom environment such as the ones I have experienced with professor Sharpe. I truly feel that I will be a better mathematics teacher because of what professor Sharpe has taught me.”
Sharpe’s research focuses on the teaching and learning of algebra at the secondary school level. Her work in this area is innovative and makes important connections between research and teaching practice. She recently received an NSF CAREER grant to support this work. The project will provide vital support and research experiences for undergraduates, graduate students and postdoctoral scholars from traditionally underrepresented groups.
Sharpe has also been an exemplary contributor to service across the university and to the professional community. She has served on several departmental and college committees, taken on leading roles in programmatic revisions and contributed greatly to supporting diversity and inclusion.
