Introducing Metro NExT
The Metropolitan New York Section of the MAA is pleased to introduce a special
program aimed at supporting new and rising Ph.D's in mathematics or mathematics
education. Metro NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) will be a local version
of the highly successful national MAA program Project
NExT. Like Project NExT, Metro NExT's goal is to support new and pre-tenured
faculty who are interested in improving the teaching and learning of undergraduate
mathematics.
Benefits of Metro NExT Fellowship
Metro NExT aims to provide mathematicians in the metropolitan New York area
who have recently entered the profession with practical information about, and
concrete suggestions for, implementing more effective pedagogical and professional
strategies, ranging from new teaching methods to writing grant proposals and
balancing teaching and research responsibilities. Metro NExT events will also
provide opportunities for its fellows to meet other young professionals, socialize
and network. Furthermore Metro NExT fellows will be invited to participate in
some future Project NExT events including those at the Joint Meetings and at Mathfest.
Qualifications for Metro NExT Fellows
Metro NExT is open to all Metropolitan New York MAA Section faculty members
holding a Ph.D. in mathematics or mathematics education and having full-time,
pre-tenure status at a post-secondary institution. Metro NExT is also open to
all graduate mathematics or mathematics education students in their final two
years of doctoral study.
