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

Our PME induction ceremony took place on March 24, 2011 at Marist College’s historic Cornell Boathouse. Twenty five students and two faculty were inducted. The keynote address was delivered by Dr. John McCleary of Vassar College: “Pi(x), mu(x) and epsilon: Primes and their distribution.”

Do any of your chapter members plan to attend or present a paper at the 2011 PME national meeting at MathFest in Lexington, Kentucky?

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?
