Associate Professor, Department of Statistics & Probability

Associate Professor, Program in Mathematics Education (PRIME)

"Harlow is the most thoughtful, considerate, and genuine instructor I have had the pressure of working with throughout my time at MSU. She goes above and beyond to ensure her entire class is well prepared for any assignment, quiz, or exam to limit any stress which is normally found in a classroom. Additionally, she cares for every one of her students and wants to form a true connection with each of her students. I could never have done as well as I did in her class if it was not for her, and she will forever be my favorite instructor at MSU!"
