Mathematics Across the Curriculum

Summer Institute 2002

Sleeping Lady

Resources for Participants


Experienced Faculty & MAC Coordinators
The workshops at the institute will be facilitated by faculty who have already implemented MAC projects in their classrooms.  These faculty will also be on hand during the institute to meet with interested participants. Also available will be Dr. Dorothy Wallace of Dartmouth College, the principal investigator of Dartmouth's successful Mathematics Across The Curriculum project.

Concrete Examples of Successful MAC Projects
During the institute participants will be able to view posters describing MAC projects that have already been implemented.  Also included will be sample syllabi, assignments, and assessments.  Some of the workshops at the institute will include descriptions of these projects as well.

Computer & Web Access
One of the reasons for choosing Sleeping Lady as our facility is that Web access is available in every room.  At the institute one large room will be set aside at all times with computers, a printer and Web access.

Math mentors Jenny & Melissa

National Numeracy Network
This year our institute will be held jointly with a National Numeracy Network (NNN) conference sponsored by The Washington Center for Improving the Quality of Undergraduate Education.  Some of the opening and closing sessions will be combined with NNN.  MAC participants will be invited to join other NNN sessions, and NNN participants may attend MAC workshops.  

$240 Stipends for Participants
Because the institute is being held when most faculty are not on contract, we are paying faculty a modest stipend of $60/day (X4 days = $240) to attend the institute.  We hope that faculty will use these monies to help them create and implement their projects.
