Brief Bio for Deanna Haunsperger
Dr. Deanna
Haunsperger is a professor of mathematics at Carleton
College
in Minnesota. Since her own undergraduate days at a small
liberal arts college in Iowa,
she has been interested in increasing the number of students who pursue
advanced degrees in mathematics. That
passion has guided her as a former co-editor for Math Horizons (the
Mathematical Association of America’s magazine for undergraduates) and
as
co-founder and co-director of Carleton's Summer Mathematics Program for
Women (a
successful, intensive four-week summer program to encourage talented
undergraduate women to pursue advanced degrees in the mathematical
sciences). Currently she is serving as the
Second Vice
President of the MAA and chairing the MAA’s Strategic Planning
Committee on
Students. Deanna is married to fellow
mathematician Steve Kennedy, and together they have two children.
