Alec Ward: Portrait of a 2017 SVSU graduate

Alec Ward has a gift for solving math problems, and he wants to share that talent with others.

"No question, he has been one of our best students ever," said Amy Hlavacek, associate professor of mathematics. "He's already great at teaching others math."

And so it only makes sense to Hlavacek that her pupil from Almont would pursue a career empowering others to become strong math students.
