Panel Discussion on Career Opportunities
PCUMC 2008 will feature a panel discussion on career opportunities in the mathematical sciences, which has been a very popular at past conferences. Often students want to know things like "What can I do with a degree in mathematics?" or "What courses should I take as an undergrad to be competitive on the job market?" This panel will feature professionals from government, business and industry who can answer these kinds of questions. The panelists include:
- Lael S. Fisher of Aerospace Corporation,
- Michele Raad, an actuary at Mercer LLC,
- Suneel Sundar, National Security Agency,
- Stefanie Knutson, a high school teacher from Vistamar School, and
- Andrea Sisk, Raytheon Company
To make this discussion as effective as possible for participants, we would like to start generating a list of questions for our panelists to consider in advance.

Math Club Activities
PCUMC 2008 will feature an interactive session on Math Club Activities. Do you have an active math club at your institution? Would you like to? What type of activities does your math club engage in? Share your thoughts with us!
- From the LMU Math Club - 1/16/08:
"The LMU Math Club is so excited to have the PCUMC here on our campus this year. We look forward to meeting you and spending a day talking about the amazing field of mathematics. Be here or b^2! Please wear one of your math club shirts to represent your campus. Also please bring along your extra math club shirts and we will do a shirt exchange. Again we look forward to the time when the distance between us can be expressed as an epsilon neighborhood of arbitrary size."
- From Cal Poly San Luis Obispo - 3/16/08:
I am one of the math club officers here at Cal Poly SLO. I have heard a number of our math undergrads saying that we need to do more social stuff because they feel they "don't know anyone in the major." So we started having weekly soccer games with the physics club and about once a month we have a math club meeting where there is food and discussion about the latest happenings in our math club. What kind of things do other math clubs do? parcticularly to improve the social scene?
Please submit questions/comments from your institution about how to create and maintain an active math club (or any other subject!) here:
