Kathleen Sullivan, RSCJ, was appointed Professor Emerita at Seattle University, where she has taught math in the School of Engineering for eighteen years. Sister Sullivan will continue teaching math at the school. She will also pursue a variety of out-of-the-classroom teaching experiences, including her annual summer “Splash” program for girls from schools in the Seattle area who are top achievers in science and math. Sister Sullivan founded the program eleven years ago and has acquired funding grants from companies in the Seattle area.

Recently, Sister Sullivan was pictured in Seattle University’s magazine teaching math to some of the homeless people of “Tent City,” which the university welcomed to its campus for about three months.

She also organized a poster session in Atlanta on “outreach programs in mathematics for women and girls” at the annual meeting of the Mathematical Association of America.
