Do any of your chapter members plan to attend or present a paper at the PME national meeting at MathFest in Boulder, Colorado?

Perhaps David Carchedi.

Describe the two most interesting or unusual chapter activities this year:

1:

Every thursday PME members, and other math majors, meet at 4 PM for "math hour". We have refreshments and participate in mathematical puzzles and games.

2:

We also did joint activities with the chapter at Holy Cross and participated in their version of a math hour.

Do you have any news about current students or recent graduates? For example, scholarships or other awards, acceptances to graduate school, paper presentations at conferences. :

David Carchedi gave two talks at the HRUMC this year and participated in the "Math in Moscow" program this fall.
