Money from a Pi Mu Epsilon Prize Grant was used to sponsor some of the cash prizes for The University of Scranton's Department of Mathematics's Tenth Annual Integration Bee on April 27th, 2017. The format for the Integration Bee is similar to a spelling bee, however, instead of spelling words, participants find antiderivatives of functions of a single real variable. The contest consisted of a high school division and a college division. Both divisions had one champion and four other finalists. All ten finalists received $25 and both champions received an additional $75.
