Timeline

1934

Norma Eugenia González Hernández (née González, born May 19, 1934) is an American mathematics educator known for her work on the educational achievements of Mexican-American students and on the factors influencing those achievements.

She was dean of education at the University of Texas at El Paso.

Hernández was born on May 19, 1934, in El Paso, Texas, where her mother, Mexican-American writer and grocer Ramona González, had also been born and educated; her father was a sales clerk who had immigrated to the US from Zacatecas, Mexico.

Both of her parents had a high school education, well-educated by the standards of Mexican Americans at the time.

An aunt, living with them in El Paso, worked as a schoolteacher and principal in nearby Ciudad Juárez.

She had three brothers and sisters, all of whom went on to professional careers.

As a child, Hernández's talent in mathematics showed through her work making change at her mother's grocery.

Although many public schools of that time and place segregated Mexican-Americans into poorer-quality education, Hernández was able to attend integrated schools.

She earned many academic honors for her schoolwork, but was passed over for valedictorian in favor of a white male student whose overall record was not as accomplished.

She became a student at Texas Western College, which would later become the University of Texas at El Paso.

She majored in mathematics there, and was the only female student in the advanced mathematics courses she took.

1954

She graduated in 1954 as "possibly one of the first American-born Latinas to receive a degree in mathematics from an accredited college in the United States", and in the same year married her husband, health scientist Rodolfo Hernández, with whom she had four daughters.

1955

Hernández became an elementary school teacher in El Paso in 1955, and in 1957 moved to Austin, Texas, continuing as a teacher there for three years.

1960

In Austin, she earned a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1960.

Her master's thesis was An introduction to logic, sets, and mathematical systems.

1967

After this, she returned to El Paso, where she worked as supervisor of secondary mathematics until 1967.

Her next step was to return to graduate study at the University of Texas at Austin, as a doctoral student in mathematics education.

1969

Hernández took a position as assistant professor of education at the University of Texas at El Paso, starting in 1969.

1970

She completed her Ph.D. in 1970, again possibly as a first for this degree for a Mexican-American woman.

Her dissertation was An observation system to analyze cognitive content of teacher discourse in a mathematics lesson.

1974

In 1974, the university named her dean of education, the first Hispanic alumna of the university to attain such a position.

1976

Under her leadership, in 1976, the university's program in education was accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.

2000

She retired in 2000, becoming a professor emerita.
