Activities: Due to Covid-19 restrictions, there wasn't much activity other than the initiation ceremony held via Zoom. We're hoping for a resurgence of activity in 2021-22.

Do any of your chapter members plan to attend or present at the PME National Meeting this year? I believe that at least one student expressed interest; I don't know if she followed up.

Do you have any news about current students or recent graduations? For example, scholarships or other awards, acceptances to graduate school, paper presentations at conferences, etc.
We had several students accepted to graduate school in mathematics/statistics, including the two officers named above.

If you were awarded a PME Lectureship, Conference, or Prize Grant within the past year, please briefly describe the results.
