Activities: Our induction ceremony was moved to align with our departments' Pi Day celebration. It started with the induction ceremony, then involved some pi-day related activities (a pi-day bingo, search, etc) and ended with a tradition where one student is chosen to pi a professor in the face.

Do any of your chapter members plan to attend or present at the PME National Meeting this year? No

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.

If you were awarded a PME Lectureship, Conference, or Prize Grant within the past year, please briefly describe the results.
Illinois Mu was awarded a prize grant for this year. We had a weekly problem of the week that students could enter solutions for. A weekly winner was chosen by drawing (you can only win once per semester) for a starbucks gift card, and then at the end of each semester, we had a larger drawing, where each student got one chance per correct submission.
