Associate professor to promote educational opportunity for students at all levels.
Dr. Bianco, an associate professor at the University of Colorado Denver who works to pave the way for students of color to become future teachers has been named the University of Colorado’s Timmerhaus Teaching Ambassador.
"Dr. Bianco exemplifies the highest quality that CU faculty members bring to educating our students and serving communities with outreach across Colorado,” said CU President Bruce D. Benson. “She’ll make an outstanding advocate for CU and higher education in this public role, which honors the tremendous legacy of Dr. Timmerhaus.”
The University of Colorado System is proud to announce an exciting opportunity for urban and rural K-12 schools, universities and non-profits in Colorado and nationwide.
As the Timmerhaus Ambassador, Dr. Bianco seeks to engage a variety of audiences to discuss the importance of a diversified and community-based teacher workforce. Drawing from her own personal experience as a first generation college graduate, and professional experiences as a classroom teacher, Dr. Bianco developed Pathways2Teaching, a nationally recognized Grow Your Own diverse teacher program designed to encourage high school students in urban and rural communities to become teachers in and for their own communities.
