Activities: We invited Dave Kung to visit for Pi Day and he gave some really cool talks. In addition, he was inducted into our chapter because he was an undergrad at UW Madison, which has the longest inactive chapter in WI... The students really enjoyed him:)

If you were awarded a PME Lectureship, Conference, or Prize Grant within the past year, please briefly describe the results.
We were awarded a Prize Grant. We usually give out $500 in prizes to students (7 sophomore awards and 2-3 senior awards). This allowed us to give out $600 students and we recognized an outstanding sophomore!
