The Sixth annual Michigan Project NExT Symposium is slated for the afternoon of Thursday, April 28, at Alma College, the day prior to the Michigan Section Annual Meeting. The program for the Michigan NExT sessions varies from year to year and is designed to address issues of particular importance to new faculty, such as: developing successful teaching and assessment strategies; supervising undergraduate research; planning new courses and selecting textbooks; using appropriate technology in the classroom; balancing teaching, research and service responsibilities; starting and maintaining a teaching portfolio; achieving tenure; and more.
The symposium will consist of four 30-minute talks, followed by dinner for all participants. Past and present national or Michigan Project NExT fellows are cordially invited to attend. Those planning to attend for the first time are invited to formally apply for appointment as a Michigan Project NExT Fellow: Mathematics faculty in their first four years of full-time teaching with a strong commitment to teaching undergraduates are eligible. Graduate students may also apply. Details on how to apply, along with more information about past programs, can be found at http://www.calvin.edu/~rpruim/next/mich.
Interested parties should contact Matt Boelkins (boelkinm@gvsu.edu) or Randy Pruim (rpruim@calvin.edu).
