Kappa Mu Epsilon Initiates New Members

On Sunday, March 14, 2010, twelve new members were initiated into the Pennsylvania Rho Chapter of Kappa Mu Epsilon at Thiel College, Greenville, PA.  Professor Max Shellenbarger, faculty sponsor, and David Wierzchowski , current President, served as the Masters of Ceremony.  Professor David Miller , guest speaker, gave a talk about some of the connections between business and mathematics throughout history, as related to our tax code.  The members were then initiated and the new officers inducted.

Kappa Mu Epsilon is a specialized honor society in Mathematics. KME was founded in 1931 to promote the interest of mathematics among undergraduate students. Its chapters are located in colleges and universities of recognized standing which offer a strong mathematics major. The chapters' members are selected from students of mathematics and other closely related fields who have maintained standards of scholarship, have professional merit, and have attained academic distinction. The society has grown steadily since its founding and today has one hundred eighteen chapters and approximately sixty-one thousand members in thirty-four states.
