Howard Dooley, Jr., arrives as RI C-AIM’s new project administrator, taking over from Sally J. Beauman, who retired from the position in January. Welcome aboard!

From Howard:

“I am a life-long educator. In my youth, I worked and volunteered at several community-based organizations that collaborated with Providence’s homeless, disadvantaged and immigrant populations. It was a wonderful and fulfilling time. Looking to engage more academic environments with new challenges, I spent 10 years as project manager of the NSF-supported Rhode Island Technology Enhanced Science and Computing Program (RITES+C). The program’s mission was to create, support and maintain equity of access and achievement in computational thinking and computer science courses and activities for all secondary public school students in Rhode Island.

After a brief “retirement”, I am joining RI C-AIM, a program that dovetails well with my interests, including authentic STEAM experiences for all and creative displays of scientific data. I enjoy working in peer-collaborations that support scientific exploration, engaging new scientists and contributing facts and models to social decision-making.

In my off-hours, I garden, read and watch science and science fiction. I love and am loved deeply by my partner Nick, our dog Maximus, and my cat Cinnamon.”
