Activities: In October, Dr. Chad Awtrey visited Murray State University and gave a talk on "When is a polynomial isomorphic to an even polynomial?" Dr. Awtrey also inducted 9 members into PME to restart the Kentucky Gamma chapter. In the spring, PME hosted Euler's day. PME members also helped with the department's Math Day and Pi-Day. Graduating Seniors were recognized at the Spring Awards Banquet with graduation chords.

Do any of your chapter members plan to attend or present at the PME National Meeting this year? 

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 four students graduate this May. We had two members present at the PME National Meeting in January 2025, and three students present at the annual KYMAA conference.

If you were awarded a PME Lectureship, Conference, or Prize Grant within the past year, please briefly describe the results.
Murray State was awarded a Richard A Good Lectureship to bring in Chad Awtrey to restart the Kentucky Gamma chapter.
