Woodland Community College Mathematics professor Hoda Jahanshaloo practically started her career as a child. Standing by her father in his university classroom in Iran, Hoda learned how to draw the symbol lambda while other kids were scribbling with crayons. Hoda's transformational story, both bittersweet and triumphant, will renew your spirit as a teacher and remind you of the importance of being "in it" with our students through this time of change.
