Activities: The annual Pi Mu Epsilon Lecture was held in conjunction with the Induction Ceremony. The talk, titled "The Mathematics of Medical Imaging" was given by Sarah Hamilton ’07 Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Marquette University. It was very special having an alumna of the College return to give this address, particularly since Sarah was Co-President of this Pi Mu Epsilon chapter in 2006-07. A highlight is the September Math Colloquium featuring presentations by students who participated in summer research projects or internships, among them were PME members: Mariah Boudreau’19 - “Dartmouth Research Experience: Variations of the MMV Problem”; Lillian Richardson ‘20 – “Summer Intern: SIU”; Hattie Wilczewski ‘20 – “Colorado Summer Institute in Biostatistics”
