Luke Tunstall

Originally from North Carolina, Luke comes to Trinity University most recently from Michigan State University. He is Director of Trinity’s new Quantitative Reasoning and Skills (QRS) Center, located in the Tiger Learning Commons of the Coates Library.

Luke is heavily involved in the quantitative literacy movement in higher education, and is committed to fostering students’ quantitative reasoning practices across the disciplines. He is keenly aware of the complex relationship between quantitative literacy and social justice, so is driven in his work to ensure that all students have equitable access to skills for success in the twenty-first century.

As Director of the new QRS Center, Luke will work with students and faculty to promote student success in quantitatively-demanding coursework; in getting started, this will take the form of individualized support to students, peer tutor training, teaching within the Department of Mathematics, and the hosting of workshops, among other things. Luke welcomes all students to participate in the formation of the new QRS Center.
