Daniel Spector 2005 Quincy graduate
Discussing Mathematics— Even on Saturdays
alumni profile
Daniel Spector, a 2005 Quincy graduate in mathematics, chemistry, and computer science, is working toward his doctorate at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. When he becomes a math professor, he hopes his students find him welcoming and encouraging—the same qualities he appreciates in his former Quincy University professors. “From the very beginning, I had a personal relationship with all of my professors,” he says. “From the first day I walked on campus, I could go into any professor’s office and they were happy to talk about any questions I had.”
Daniel says Quincy professors challenged him to go beyond his coursework and explore his three majors even further. He spent a lot of time with his professors, even visiting them on Saturdays to discuss complex math problems.
“QU has a great resource in the faculty members it has. They are all people who are very interested in what they can do to build you up and invest in your education,” he says.
