MAA's PREP Program

The MAA's Professional Enhancement Program (PREP) will offer a wide variety of workshops during summer 2003. PREP workshops offer a chance to spend a few days exploring topics of mutual interest with colleagues from other institutions, with experienced leaders to guide the group towards a deeper understanding and broader perspective. Most of the cost of attending a PREP workshop is covered by the program. For additional information and registration materials, visit the PREP web site, http://www.maa.org/prep. A listing of this summer’s workshops follows.
