Describe the two most interesting or unusual chapter activities this year:
We had a T-shirt-design competition. The department shirt spoofs our University athletics slogan (fear the Roo). It is "square the Roo." We had a pizza gathering in which students presented their talks from MathFest and the joint meetings and gave a panel discussion on math student conference attendance
Do any of your chapter members plan to attend or present a paper at the PME national meeting at MathFest in Madison, Wisconsin?
Yes.
Do you have any news about current students or recent graduates? For example, scholarships or other awards, acceptances to graduate school, paper presentations at conferences. :
One student is a Goldwater Scholar.
