Describe the two most interesting or unusual chapter activities this year:

This year our club participated in several activities in conjunction with the Physics club. The students organized a pie sale and pie eating contest for Pi Day. We also had our traditional Calculus Competition and winning group was composed of a Math Major and a Physics major. Our induction ceremony was very successful. We offered a light lunch for our students and faculty. Eight members were inducted to PME this year. The Physics department held their PSP induction ceremony at the same time and they inducted 4 members to their honor society.

Do any of your chapter members plan to attend or present a paper at the 2009 PME national meeting at MathFest in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?

Not this year.
