The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) is the largest professional society that focuses on undergraduate mathematics education. Our members include university, college, and high school teachers; graduate and undergraduate students; pure and applied mathematicians; computer scientists; statisticians; and many others in academia, government, business, and industry. We welcome all who are interested in the mathematical sciences. The mission of the MAA is "to advance the mathematical sciences, especially at the collegiate level." |

The Northeastern Section is continuing a Section NExT program for new and relatively new colleagues at this year's FALL/SPRING Section meeting. By providing talks and workshops on issues of interest, opportunities to meet and share ideas with other new colleagues, and an introduction into Section activities, we hope to assist new faculty in their transition from graduate school to professional academic life.
The Section NExT program will be on Friday, June 8th, 2007. Please indicate your attendance on your preregistration form.
Would you like to present at the meeting? Here's how:
There is no online registration for this meeting, but there are two other options.
You may register at the meeting if you wish; however, it would help to plan the meeting if you pre-register by mail.
Pre-registration will (i) save you money since the on-site registration fees are $5 more than the pre-registration fees, and (ii) guarantee your meals.
Friday dinner and Saturday lunch cannot be guaranteed unless reservations are made and paid for via the preregistration process by Friday, May 25, 2007. You are welcome to purchase tickets for spouses and guests to join you for the meals.
There will be limited tickets available for the banquet and the luncheon at the meeting.
Campus Housing
You may reserve a room on campus in the college residence halls. The halls we will be using are apartment buildings with 4 one-person bedrooms per apartment. Please note that the apartments are not air conditioned.
Hotel/Motel/Bed and Breakfast Information
If you prefer off campus housing, you may reserve a room with a special rate at the following hotels/motels/bed and breakfasts. Except for the Super 8 motel, all other establishments are located within a mile of Keene State College.
