Montclair State - Mathematics Department

The Department of Mathematics at Montclair is proud to celebrate a major milestone for one of our own. Dr. Geena Taite, a recent graduate of our doctoral program in Mathematics Education, has accepted her dream position as a full-time Lecturer of Developmental Mathematics at Ramapo College of New Jersey.

In a full-circle moment, Dr. Taite returns to Ramapo, where she first earned her undergraduate degree. Her appointment reflects both her deep commitment to students and her expertise in supporting meaningful mathematical learning across diverse contexts.

In her new role, Dr. Taite will deliver high-impact, inclusive instruction in developmental mathematics while also supporting adjunct faculty, leading innovative teaching and student support initiatives such as supplemental instruction and active learning, and contributing to ongoing course improvement. She will collaborate with colleagues on curricular design, and work closely with campus student success offices to strengthen mathematics support across the institution.

Dr. Taite’s journey reflects the kind of impact we hope to see from our graduates, thoughtful, dedicated educators who bring both vision and care to their work. We are thrilled to see her return to the institution where her academic path began, now as a faculty member shaping the experiences of future students.

Congratulations, Dr. Taite! We are incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to see all that you accomplish in this exciting new chapter.
