About Alyn Fulte

Alyne Fulte received her M.S. degree in mathematics from Baylor in 1993. With over 30 years of experience in mathematics education at the middle school, high school, and college levels. Retiring after 26 years of service in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at New Mexico State University. Alyne believes, to learn one must construct new learning from previous experiences. Learning mathematics involves consistent practice, because, through practice, one builds connections from the old to the new. Alyne loves to help students. In fact, she knew she was going to be a mathematics teacher in third grade when she would meticulously call her class of stuffed animals to order every day after school. There are two skills that open the world of possibilities; the ability to communicate, and the ability to understand the world of mathematics.

"The only thing I ask from you is ganas (the deep desire to accomplish). If you don’t have ganas, I will give it to you because I’m an expert."

I began teaching at NMSU as a graduate student in 1993. In 1994, I was hired as a College Instructor. I was promoted to College Assistant Professor (1999); to College Associate Professor (2004); to Director of the Mathematics Center (2005-2009); and to College Professor (2013). My role at NMSU was teaching faculty and I generally taught freshman and sophomore level courses including all classes in the pre-calculus sequence, preparatory courses for educators seeking elementary certification, statistics, and mathematics appreciation.

For seven years I was the Co-Principal Investigator and Director of the Las Cruces Prefreshman Engineering Program (PREP). PREP was a mathematically intensive eight-week summer program for high achieving pre-college students who were interested in becoming engineers and scientists. I was awarded over 1.5 million dollars in grants to achieve PREP’s mission. My other special projects include one year as the Director of the Southwestern New Mexico Science and Engineering Fair and two years as Coordinator of the GK-12 program with Dr. Nancy McMillan (Geology).

Baylor University (January 1991-May 1993). Graduate Student.

Palo Duro High School (August 1988-May 1990)

As a high school mathematics instructor at Palo Duro High in Amarillo, TX, I taught Calculus-AP, Computer Science, Computer Mathematics, and a plethora of pre-calculus courses.
