CEC welcomes Jaretd Meraz as an archive intern

Jaretd Meraz is Houston born and raised and is a freshman in the University of Houston. He is currently majoring in Teaching and Learning and hopes to become a high school math teacher one day. Along the way, he plans to help teach others about the earth’s environment and learn more about it himself.

Jaretd has always thought mathematics can be for everyone; they just needed that push to solve the problems. There is a certain beauty to having that “a-ha!” moment when you finally understand the subject after making countless tries. Just like working out helps exercise your muscles, mathematics helps exercise your brain and problem solving. Jaretd not always “math math math”: in his free time he likes to watch movies, talk to family and friends, or play video games.

Jardt is working to digitize 50 years of CEC newsletters and other history, and organize donations to CEC’s archives in the University of Houston Library’s Special Collections. Jaretd can be reached at jaretd.meraz@cechouston.org.
