Activities: We hosted a meet-up with faculty and graduate students from Washington State University. They presented on their research projects and answered questions about the graduate school experience. We took a van full of students to the MAA Regional Meeting in Tacoma, WA. Several students presented, two of which (inducted into PME in April 2015) won awards for their talks.

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, which we used to help award: Carsrud Award (top graduating senior) Junior Awards (MAA memberships) Service Award (outstanding service to the department) Putnam Award (highest score on the Putnam Exam) Freshman Award (outstanding freshman) We held the departmental awards ceremony in conjunction with the PME Induction. It worked very nicely.
