Michigan Gamma Chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon was chartered in 1970 with 17 charter members. Over the ensuing years, many students were inducted into the Chapter, but in the early nineties activity lapsed with the illness and eventual death of Professor Harold Jones, the Faculty Advisor. The chapter was re-activated on March 4, 2004 with the induction of 11 students and six faculty, including two emeriti. Robert Smith of Miami U (Ohio), National President of Pi Mu Epsilon, presided over the induction ceremony. Student officers elected were Kami Lizarraga, President, Chantel Blackburn, Vice President, and Robert Wilson, Secretary-Treasurer. Program meetings of the Chapter are a proper subset of the meetings of Eigen, the campus Mathematics/Physics club. • On September 24, 2004 the student officers sponsored a Group Proof Writing competition for undergraduate students, with about 25 participants in five teams. Students graded the submissions and bestowed appropriate(??) prizes(!!) upon the winning teams. This year, 14 students have qualified for induction, which is to be held April 7.

In addition to designing new T-shirts, the Math and Stats Club will be holding a special fundraising event to commemorate Pi Day this March 14th. The key activity will be centered around a club fundraiser, which will ultimately result in one lucky department faculty member receiving a pie in the face!
