If you were unable to attend, we did record the panel. We are grateful for our teachers who volunteered their time and shared their insights with us.

Please click here to register for this FREE panel by Friday, October 30 at 5pm. If we do not have enough people registered by then, we will cancel the panel out of respect for the teachers’ time.

The Georgia Council of Teachers of Mathematics is hosting a FREE virtual conference with sessions  at 7 p.m. on October 12 and 14 as well as Monday through Thursday the following two weeks (October 19 – 22 and October 26 – 29). Our very own UGA graduate students, James Drimalla and Halil Tasova, are presenting on October 22 and October 29 respectively.

Conferences are a great opportunity to learn and to share academic work, but the cost can certainly be a deterrent. To help alleviate the financial burden, MESA has allocated funds to reimburse student conference registration! This funding will be available to MESA members on a first-come, first-serve basis. In order to be eligible you must:

• be a registered member of MESA,
• have registered for an academic conference during the 2020/2021 academic year.
• paid your university student activity fees.

Those who apply will receive the reimbursement upon completion of the necessary forms and approval from the university. For more information and to request the necessary forms for reimbursement, please email mesaofficertreasurer@gmail.com.

If you are currently completing your sophomore year of college and pursuing a career goal of becoming a certified teacher of grades 7-12 mathematics, NCTM has a $10,000 scholarship opportunity for you! See the details below about this great opportunity.
