Welcome to the "Who Counts?" web site!

"Who Counts?  Math Across the Curriculum for Global Learning" is a funded grant from the Department of Education.  Its purpose is to incorporate mathematical reasoning assignments into non-STEM courses.  STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and math.  The grant was given to Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for a three-year period, 2007-2010.

One of the main initiatives of this grant is for non-STEM faculty members to incorporate mathematical reasoning assignments into their courses.  Fourteen members received grants to redesign their courses during the summer of 2008.

Additionally, the grant provides the means to publish a Global Missions Guidebook, Pathways to a Life that Counts.  The first edition will be distributed to all incoming freshmen in August 2008.  Intended to be used throughout their college days, the book contains four sections:  Government and Inclusion, Peace and Justice, Solidarity with Others, and Stewardship of the Human and Natural Environments.
 
The Community Partners program will generate project-based learning activities that will benefit both the Community Partners and the students at Marquette University.
 
We will host a Global Missions Student Conference in spring 2009 where students will showcase their projects via posters or colloquia.
