| About | Becoming a Fellow | Fellows |
Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) is a professional development program for relatively new college-level faculty sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). It addresses all aspects of an academic career: improving the teaching and learning of mathematics, engaging in research and scholarship, finding exciting and interesting service opportunities, and participating in professional activities.
This national program was instituted in 1994. Section NExT, including NJ-NExT, is a program like the national NExT project, but is specifically targeted at faculty in a given MAA Section. NJ-NExT targets new-ish faculty teaching mathematics and statistics in institutes of higher education all throughout New Jersey. The goals of our program are similar to the national goals: we aim to support new faculty in the MAA-NJ section in their teaching, and to help these faculty integrate into the profession. The program is open to full-time faculty in mathematics departments in NJ who are entering their first through fourth year of full-time teaching.Application Process The program is open to full-time faculty in mathematics departments in NJ who currently in their first through fourth year of full-time teaching. We seek a diverse group of participants from a wide range of institutions. Your interest in the teaching and learning of undergraduate mathematics/statistics, and the opportunity to implement changes in your own classroom, are important considerations. To apply, please complete this google form by October 20, 2023.
Program: Fellows are required to participate in all three NJ-NExT events. Further, each Fellow is assigned a faculty mentor from another institution who can act as a great source of advice as they navigate the beginning of their academic career. Check the MAA NJ website for more details on upcoming meetings.
Costs: The costs of the NJ-NExT workshops will be covered by the New Jersey section of the MAA. Institutions employing the NJ-NExT Fellows are expected to provide financial assistance in the form of mileage reimbursement, registration fees, and meals for the three meetings.
