Meet the Director

I am Dr. Erdell Maurice, a passionate educator with a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education. For over 15 years, I have dedicated myself to the field of teaching, working alongside students to cultivate a deep understanding and appreciation for the world of mathematics. Currently, I have the privilege of teaching mathematics at FAMU, where my commitment to fostering individual success and embracing a personalized approach to learning is at the core of my educational philosophy.

Believing in the transformative power of education, I meet students where they are, guiding them towards a positive future in STEM. My expertise extends beyond the realm of traditional mathematics, encompassing areas such as programming, website development, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. This diverse background allows me to offer a holistic perspective, ensuring that each individual's unique strengths and interests are recognized and nurtured.

I am not merely an instructor; I am a facilitator of growth, dedicated to seeing every student thrive in their academic journey. My vision is for everyone who enters the program to experience substantial growth in their STEM pursuits. I look forward to getting to know each person who joins our academic community and am excited about the collective success that awaits us.

Welcome to a journey of knowledge, exploration, and limitless possibilities.

Best regards,

Dr. Erdell Maurice
