Dr. Mariah Birgen was accepted into Harvard's Master Class in Teaching Math Modeling for Life Science. She will have the opportunity to work with leading faculty from across the country who are actively seeking to update their course offerings, as well as with experts in both modeling and the pedagogical underpinnings of modeling. This program will teach her how to bring mathematical tools into the classroom to analyze complex biological systems, leveraging students' authentic interest in biological and medical sciences to advance their mathematical knowledge. She is hoping to use the knowledge and tools to improve MA 250 Applied Calculus and MA 107 Finite Mathematics. |

Performers sought for I-Club Cultural Show
|
I-Club is looking for individuals and groups to perform at the Cultural Show on May 6. All students are encouraged to participate in the event, which brings together students to share their talents and culture with the campus and Waverly community. Students are still needed to carry flags onto the stage to open the show (this will be choreographed). Students do not to need be from the country of the flag they are carrying, so this is a great opportunity for domestic students to participate. Individual and group entrants should consider these themes for their performances: rage/power, optimism, hopeless/doom, and doubt/sorrow. The optimism category already has several entrants; the exec team has examples if ideas are needed.
