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.
Jack Ryan and Kori Sye both received honorable mentions in the 2014 Barry Goldwater Scholarship program. Rebecca Heinen begins graduate school in math this fall at the University of Missouri. Kate Zumpf begins graduate school in statistics this fall. Several of our students presented research at NCUR. Five of our students attended the Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics (4 of them gave presentations). William Noland was accepted to the MASS program at Penn State for Fall 2015. Five of our students (William Noland, Rebecca Rachan, Jack Ryan, Dana Lacey, and Taylor Spino) were accepted to summer REU programs.
