The PME Conference grant supported another successful undergraduate PME mathematics conference at YSU. We had 120 attendees. A Prize Grant was used to support the prizes offered at our annual YSU MathFest. We had nearly record-breaking attendance with 350 high school juniors and seniors on-campus in November for our day of workshops and talks. Darci Kracht (PME Councilor) was the featured speaker that day!
