Mathew McElroy

       Greetings! My name is Mathew McElroy, and I'm the Senior Technical Associate for the office of Technology Planning and Distance Learning here at UTEP. I have a degree in English and American Literature; and I'm also working on a Master in Public Administration degree, which I hope to finish in the Spring if my department offers the ever elusive "Public Sector Finance." I recently came to this office from both the Ysleta Independent School District, where I was an English teacher at Eastwood High School, and the Public Policy Research Center (PPRC) here at UTEP. At Eastwood I worked teaching my peers how to incorporate technology and multimedia presentations into their classrooms and taught my students a number of the same skills. At the PPRC, I worked on anything from federal grants to technical reports, publications, indexes, and graphics.

In terms of my studies, I enjoy political philosophy (really), administrative theory, and cost benefit analysis models (no, really). My hobbies include reading, soccer, tennis, and jogging.
