Seniors who are planning to go to graduate school are busy applying to graduate programs - and working hard to finish their undergraduate studies strong! If you will still be an undergraduate in the Fall Semester of 2011, then you should consider participating in a summer REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates). Check out http://www.maa.org/students/undergrad/research.html for more information. Faculty members can help you determine which REUs you would like best, and they can help you apply. Depending on the REU, the application deadline may be any time from the end of January through late March. April is Mathematics Awareness Month. This year's theme is "Unraveling Complex Systems". For information concerning activities and to download a poster, check out http://www.mathaware.org/. Encourage your mathematics and computer science clubs to organize activities during the month of April. You can also kick off the 2011 Mathematics Awareness Month celebration by organizing a trip to attend the Annual KYMAA Section Meeting, March 25 - 26, 2011 at Eastern Kentucky University. I will be writing a newsletter to be included with the registration packet at the Section Meeting, and I need your help providing highlights of your activities. Please have one of your club members send a brief summary to m.dobranski@moreheadstate.edu. Your responses are highly appreciated. If you have any questions about the information above, please feel free to contact me.

Modeled after the National Project NExT, the mission of the Kentucky Section NExT (New Experiences in Teaching), is to support soon-to-be, newly-minted, and recent-but-untenured Ph.D.s in the mathematical sciences (including all areas of mathematics, statistics, operations research, and mathematics education) in their role as mathematics faculty, as well as more experienced math faculty who are new to Kentucky and KYMAA. In particular, the goal of KYNExT is to foster and enhance all aspects of an academic career: high-quality teaching and learning of mathematics, productive research and scholarship, and meaningful professional activities. The KYNExT program will immediately precede the annual KYMAA spring meeting, beginning with lunch just before the KYMAA meeting commences. A discussion at the luncheon on Saturday will conclude the program. The Friday afternoon session will include a presentation by an award-winning faculty member from Kentucky, as well as discussions on discovering one's teaching style and on balancing responsibilities and activities beyond teaching. To these ends, KYNExT seeks applications from any and all untenured mathematics faculty and mathematics graduate students who anticipate graduating with a Ph.D. by Fall 2012, and those who have recently relocated to Kentucky. Please submit applications to Will Harris at William_Harris@georgetowncollege.edu by February 28. We anticipate that review of applications will be completed no later than March 7. A complete application will include:
KYNExT funds will cover all costs of attending the KYNExT program itself, including registration for the KYMAA meeting at EKU, lunch and dinner on Friday, and breakfast and lunch on Saturday. We will also cover lodging for participants who live sufficiently far from Richmond and your institution is unable to cover the expense .
