The Eighth Annual Michigan NExT Symposium will be held in conjunction with the 2007 Section Meeting at the University of Michigan-Dearborn on the afternoon of Thursday, May 3, 2007. The topic of this year’s program will be “Explorations in Calculus”.

Co-organizers Mark Pearson (Hope C) and Paul Yu (GVSU) are currently soliciting speakers. If you would like to speak about some issue pertaining to teaching calculus, please email a proposed abstract for your talk to Mark (pearson@hope.edu) and Paul (yupaul@gvsu.edu) by Friday, March 16. Once proposals have been reviewed and speakers confirmed, the schedule for the day’s events will be posted on www.math.hope.edu/pearson/MINExT-2007.html. We anticipate being able to post the schedule, as well as other information about the symposium, by the first week of April.

Michigan NExT is a forum designed for faculty in their first six years of full-time teaching who have a strong commitment to undergraduate mathematics education. We encourage eligible faculty to apply for membership in Michigan NExT, although interested faculty and graduate students are welcome to participate in the symposium. If you are interested in joining Michigan NExT or participating in the 2007 Michigan NExT Symposium, please email Mark and Paul by Friday, April 20.

We look forward to a lively and engaging afternoon of discussion, and we hope you’ll be able to join us on Thursday, May 3.

Mark Pearson, Hope C
