We are excited to announce that the 2025 Pikes Peak Regional Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (PPRUMC) will be hosted by Pikes Peak State College! The conference will take place on Saturday March 1, 2025 from 9:30-4:30.

The abstract submission deadline is Friday, February 14^th and the registration deadline is Friday, February 21^st . More information is available at the conference website.

Congratulations to Shelby Stanhope, from the United States Air Force Academy, who is one of the people selected for the 2024 Henry L. Alder Award. This prestigious award recognizes Dr. Stanhope’s extraordinary success in teaching undergraduate mathematics and her impact beyond her own classes.

Congratulations to Dr. Rebecca (Becky) Swanson, winner of the 2024 Burton W. Jones Distinguished Teaching Award, and Dr. Elizabeth (Liz) Arnold, winner of the 2024 Early Career Teaching Award.

Voting results are in for the section’s most recent election — please join the Nominating Committee in congratulating our new Vice-Chair, Brittni Lorton (Community College of Denver).

We further wish to thank our outgoing Vice-Chair, Carol Kuper (Morgan Community College), for her service on the Executive Committee over the past two years.

Other changes on the Executive Committee this year include the start of Beth Burroughs (Montana State University) two-year term as Section Chair, with Gulden Karakok (UNC) stepping into the position of Past-Chair.

The Section Nominating Committee is pleased to report that Brittni Lorton (Community College of Denver) has accepted a nomination for the position of Section Vice Chair.

Additional nominations for this vital leadership position will be accepted from the floor of the Annual Section Business Meeting at Colorado College on Saturday April 20, 8–8:50 am. Nominations can also be sent in advance of that meeting to Mike Jacobson. Self-nominations are encouraged. All elected officers must be members of the MAA.

Participants at the 2024 Spring Section Meeting at Colorado College will once more have an opportunity to support the section while enlarging their library of AMS and MAA Press books. Be sure to bring your checkbook or some extra cash, and get ready to shop!

Recognizing the high quality of the mathematics titles and textbooks developed and edited by the Mathematical Association of America, MAA Press books are now published and distributed as an imprint of the AMS Book Program.

Through this arrangement, all meeting participants can save 25% off of the list price for select titles from both the MAA Press and AMS book collections, with MAA and AMS members saving even more (up to 45%) on those same titles.

The 21st Annual Pikes Peak Regional Undergraduate Mathematics Conference (PPRUMC) will take place on Saturday March 2, 2024 at the United States Air Force Academy. Students throughout the Pikes Peak region and beyond are strongly encouraged to present in the areas of mathematics, mathematics education and the history of mathematics. Presentation topics could include the results of classroom or independent study, as well as REU or other research projects. Both research and expository topics are welcome.
