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

No.

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

1:

We ordered math-themed t-shirts (UNL where N is large) and sold them to raise funds for the chapter.

2:

We organized a talk by Professor Tom Marley of UNL on "Quantum Computing."

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. :

Our vice-president, Elizabeth Green, won a Goldwater Scholarship. She also participated in a poster session at the January AMS meeting and won a prize for her poster. Several former officers, such Jaclyn Anderson, Lucas Sabalka, and Gopi Shah, are now in graduate school (Gopi is studying economics/finance).
