WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT

Santiago Solari Returns to Visit �鶹��ý��

Santiago Solari was 17 years old and just out of high school when he arrived at then �鶹��ý�� College in Fall 1994. He only spent one semester at �鶹��ý�� before returning to his native Argentina where he began a professional soccer career that included playing for River Plate in Argentina as well as Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan. But �鶹��ý�� remained an important inspiration in his life.

"I was very young and there are moments in your life when things get ahold of your heart,” Solari said. “I needed to figure out what I was going to do. Being here opened my mind to living in a different country with different points of view. It was a perfect moment for me.”

Now the head coach for Club America in Mexico, Solari to �鶹��ý�� on Sept. 14 with his family to tour the campus and marvel at how it had changed.

SPOTLIGHT ON: THIERRY SAINTINE

When Thierry Saintine began observing 11 Black and Brown students in an honors precalculus class at a low-income Philadelphia neighborhood high school he expected to find students who had confidence in their abilities. They did and were highly motivated and determined to lead successful post-secondary lives.

However, he was surprised to learn they did not consider themselves to be “doers of mathematics” - they were just good enough for that class in that school.

“They could not visualize themselves in a career that involved math,” said Saintine, an assistant professor of Mathematics at �鶹��ý��.

In a based on his doctoral work, “Racial Inequality in Mathematics Education: Exploring Academic Identity as a Sense of Belonging,” Saintine explores the factors that discourage students of color from entering mathematics-based careers.
