Dr. Muhly is looking for volunteers for the upcoming modeling competition. Let him know if you can help out (and get a free lunch)!
Dear Friends,
I am writing to ask for your help in organizing this year's high school
mathematics competition that the Department has been running since 1997
under the auspices of the Great Plains Math League. This year's
competition is on Saturday, March 3. Many of you
have helped before, and I want to encourage you (and your friends) to
offer to help this year.
We need helpers to proctor the exam. The exam takes place in Van Allen
Hall (primarily in Lecture Room 1). We will need helpers there starting
about 8 AM and we will finish around noon. As has been our custom we
treat the proctors to lunch at a near-by eatery
afterwards.
It is the next best thing to a free lunch you can imagine.
If you are interested, please respond to this message. I will send you
further information. Also, on Friday, March 2, at 4:30, PM in Rm 13
MLH, I will hold an orientation session for new proctors. This may be
helpful to you to get a sense of what goes on
at the competition. (It is not absolutely necessary to attend this
orientation session, but it may be useful in order to understand the
progression of the events.) The high school kids have a lot of fun, and
I hope you will, too.
(Faculty - please encourage your students to help proctor and to contact me.)
Many thanks and, as always,
Best wishes,
Paul
