MARK YOUR CALENDARS for the Spring conference!

Join your VMATYC colleagues on April 2nd and 3rd, 2010 for the annual conference, to be at the John H. Daniel campus of Southside Community College. The Daniel campus is located in Keysville, in a beautiful rural setting in southern Virginia.
 

Because Keysville has limited lodging facilities, lodging arrangements are being made with the Hampton Inn and the Super 8 Motel in Farmville, about a half-hour drive north of Keysville. All conference events, however, will be held on campus. The Friday night banquet will be a catered affair in the new campus Workforce Development Building auditorium. Presentations and workshops will be held in classrooms equipped with Smartboards and two computer labs.   Be on the lookout for an e-mail this month asking for conference presenters. The conference is a great opportunity to tell others about the teaching techniques that you are using in the classroom or the mathematical research that you are engaged in. It is also a stimulating venue to discuss various issues concerning the teaching of mathematics at two-year colleges. When you receive your "call for presenters" e-mail, please thoughtfully consider how you might share your experience as a conference presenter.

This year, there will be a pre-conference survey of our members to obtain ideas for the conference and find out what member expectations for the conference are. Keep an eye out for an e-mail on this in this next couple of months.

If you have any ideas for the conference and do not want to wait for the survey, please feel free to share them with John Gallo, the conference chair, at tcgallj@tcc.edu, or Pardha Gadiyaram (Gadi), the host site coordinator, at Pardha.Gadiyaram@southside.edu.
