你想在这个世界上留下什么样的印记？ 艾米·内贝斯尼亚克博士，一名副教授 数学与统计学系确定自己对这个问题的答案，可以让她在自己的教育和目标的形成中发挥更积极的作用。  

  As a graduate student, she wished she had known that “it is up to me to apply what I am learning and [to] start navigating the impact I want to make on the world,” she said. “I am not a robot being programmed. I need to put my own twist or mark on what I am learning and doing.” 

Nebesniak’s desire to achieve and to stand out from the crowd has allowed her to pursue a variety of career goals and leadership opportunities. 除了担任副教授之外，Nebesniak还担任该中心的助理主任 荣誉项目 and the Executive Director of 洛珀发射浓缩营.  

洛珀发射浓缩营, formerly known as PAWS University, is a curriculum-based summer learning camp held on 太阳城娱乐官网’s campus in June for elementary and middle school students. 它提供了有趣的，动手的项目和活动，在整个夏天继续学习。 

“The purpose is to provide community youth educational opportunities that are hands-on, while simultaneously exposing them to a college campus,” said Nebesniak. “I love bringing new and exciting learning opportunities to our community youth. Plus, working with young children in the summer is so fun and rejuvenating.” 

这些职位允许Nebesniak指导、指导和与学生一起工作，从研究生到进入幼儿园的学生。 It is no surprise then that the students are “hands down” her favorite part of her job.  

“They are the reason I do what I do,” she said. 

Nebesniak在K-12学校工作了10年，在太阳城娱乐官网工作了10年，她知道教育变化的速度有多快，要求教师跟上最新的研究和趋势，以吸引学生和社区。 但她逐渐明白，在瞬息万变的教育界，满足会帮助她取得更多成就。  

“I tend to want to do too much and to do it to a perfectionistic level,” she said. “Coming to the realization that there is always something more to learn and achieve, while simultaneously being proud of where I currently am” is what she considers to be her greatest educational achievement.  

在她扮演各种角色的时候，记住这一点有助于她站稳脚跟，并提醒她为什么要做这份工作。 

“The current quote motivating me is, ‘Promise me you will not spend so much time treading water and trying to keep your head above the waves that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim,’ by Tyler Gregson,” she said.  

因为她的目标是参与并产生影响，内贝斯尼亚克经常承担更多的项目，而不是按照她想要的方式去做，但通过这一切，她仍然能够记住她想要对世界产生的影响。  

“Recently this has led me to not enjoy certain elements of my job as much as I had in the past,” she said. “I am working to remember how much I truly love to swim." 

它需要35-45名教师和8名辅助教育工作者来教授和运营Loper Launch浓缩营。 If you’re interested in getting involved with camp, more information can be found at www.suncityyulec.com/loperlaunch 在 Facebook页面. 班级提案申请将于12月开放！
