Andrew Soleim ’09 has been named a 2015 Woodrow Wilson Indiana Teaching Fellows. The fellows program, administered by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, recruits both recent graduates and career changers with strong backgrounds in science, technology, engineering, and math—the STEM fields—and prepares them specifically to teach in high-need secondary schools in Indiana. Each fellow receives $30,000 to complete a specially designed master’s degree program based on a year-long classroom experience. In return, fellows commit to teach for three years in the urban and rural Indiana schools that most need strong STEM teachers.
Soleim double-majored in biology and religion at Gustavus and earned an M.A. in religious studies from the University of Chicago in 2013.
