Have you ever wondered what some of the benefits are to studying mathematics at WKU? Are you unsure of what to do after graduation? A great resource for answers to these questions are the people who have been in your shoes before! In the Pi Mu Epsilon Math Alumni Speaker Series (PME MASS), WKU Mathematics alumni speak about their career paths and how studying mathematics at WKU has been beneficial to them. Each event ends with a Q&A session.

We are pleased to announce our next speaker of the semester, Allie (Surina) Dixon (BA ’12), the Director of Commercial Strategy at Priceline. Allie will be speaking to us via Zoom from New York on Tuesday, March 3, at 4:00 PM. You have the option of joining us in person (in COHH 3119, where snacks will be served) or via Zoom (https://wku.zoom.us/j/92085536694).

Welcome all to an afternoon of solar observing!  We meet outside, from 12-2pm, near the Hardin Planetarium at the intersection of State St and College Heights Blvd.  We utilize a Sunspotter (to show mass groups the sun's sunspots and to teach geometric astronomy), 9.25" Celestron NexStar with a solar filter (to show fine details such as flares and prominences), and a Coronado PST (the included Hydrogen Alpha filter really helps display the flares).  Sometimes, we'll pass out solar viewing glasses.  And sometimes, we'll have videos inside the planetarium dome showcasing different wavelengths of the sun.
