In the Spotlight

Dr. Julia Arnold - Region 4 Regional Sponsor of the Year

Our Region 4 recipient of the Regional Sponsor of the Year Award is Dr. Julia S. Arnold. Dr. Arnold has been teaching math at Tidewater Community College for 31 years, and has been her chapter's lead sponsor for 10 years. Dr. Arnold (who earned a black belt in Chutoku-Rye Karate alongside her grandson!) collects cartoons of math and Noah's Ark, and she and her husband of 44 years recently took the trip of a lifetime to Israel with her church. Her words of advice ring clear and true: "Use...
Dr. Tamika Lindsey - Region 2 Regional Sponsor of the Year

Our Region 2 recipient of the Regional Sponsor of the Year Award is Dr. Tamika Williams. Dr. Williams has been teaching for 22 years, and her advice for MAT members is that they should, "learn as much as they can about mathematics…a strong math student translates into many future opportunities in their careers and in academia." When she isn't teaching Algebra 2 (her favorite!), Dr. Williams loves eating at The Cheesecake Factory and playing the violin. Next year, she and her chapter will be...

Dunbar High School students rock national math competition: Participants bring home numerous awards
By: Shari Armstrong

Dunbar High School recently competed in the National Mu Alpha Theta math competition held in Las Vegas. In only its second year of competing at nationals, the team finished in 15th place. Dunbar has quickly risen from anonymity to...
Williamston High School

Under the leadership of sponsor Joe Rasmus, the 2019 Diane Rubin Award-winning Mu Alpha Theta chapter at Williamston High School in Williamston, MI, has had a very busy few years! For the past six years, chapter members have been volunteering twice a week to tutor elementary school students in mathematics. Members also help run the “Middle School Problem of the Month,” a monthly math challenge open to local middle school students. For the past five years, the chapter has...
NSU University School

NSU University School Mu Alpha Theta students love to give back to the South Florida community. The school’s Upper School Mu Alpha Theta members sold many varieties of pie on Pi Day to raise money for nearby Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School families this year and have supported St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in many previous years. Students set a goal of raising $314 each Pi Day but nearly always surpass their goal! All NSU University School Mu Alpha Theta students also volunteer after...
The St. Andrew

Math came alive for middle and lower school students at this successful event organized by St. Andrew’s High School MAѲ members and sponsor, Lisa Winer. As the school band filled the air with cool sounds of light jazz, participants ate delicious food and explored math games like SET, Aggression, and Balance Beans. All games involved math with many on loan from the Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival. MAѲ members staffed the games, teaching young problem solvers the rules, plus tips such...
Brewster High School in Brewster, NY

The Brewster High School MAѲ chapter (Brewster, NY) hosted their 9th annual Math-A-Thon. On April 14th, 3rd grade students from C.V. Starr Intermediate School spent the day completing fun math workbooks and participating in math games and activities at Brewster High School. The money raised from the event went to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Members dedicated a tremendous amount of time to planning, organizing, and running this event. Because of their awesome community service...
St. Joseph High School

This past spring, St. Joseph High School was awarded a chapter grant to support its Pi Day Celebration and middle school math meet. As told by their sponsor:

It’s hard for many students to believe that learning and using math can be fun and exciting. Here at SJHS, our Mu Alpha Theta chapter organized two special community mathematics events to share their own love for math with the students, faculty and staff of our school as well of those at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic...
