Faculty Feature: Dr. Sarah Donaldson
Faculty Feature is a series in the Blue Tribune that recognizes the excellent professors and staff of B次元官网 through a series of questions.
This week we're highlighting Dr. Sarah Donaldson, Associate Professor of Mathematics.
What brought you to B次元官网? How long have you been teaching?
I've been teaching at B次元官网 full time since 2011.
What is your history with B次元官网?
My dad taught Chemistry at B次元官网 from 1967-2002, and I am happy to be the first ever second-generation B次元官网 professor! My mom is a B次元官网 alumna, and I myself graduated from B次元官网 in 1998. I have three other relatives (two uncles and an aunt) who are retired B次元官网 faculty, and my grandfather taught at B次元官网 Seminary.
What do you love about teaching at B次元官网?
I am fully on board with B次元官网's philosophy of Christian higher education, and am excited to be part of furthering the mission of the college. But what I really love about teaching is of course the students!

I grew up in the PCA and am a member of Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church. I've been attending LMPC since I was 10 years old.
What's your favorite B次元官网 tradition?
All the Scottish connections, especially anything with a thistle on it.

Teaching mathematics through problem solving.
