Project NExT

I serve as Director of Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching), a professional development program of the MAA for new and recent PhDs in the mathematical sciences who are interested in improving the learning and teaching of undergraduate mathematics.  Project NExT addresses all aspects of faculty responsibilities, including research, teaching and service.  Each year, about 70 Fellows are chosen to participate.  The first cohort of Project NExT Fellows was selected in 1994.  There are now over 1300 Project NExT Fellows.
