We wish you a well-deserved semester break! May you experience peace, hope and joy, with renewed energy for the upcoming year.

Almost fifty years ago, in a meeting held at Quinsigamond Community College on May 11, 1974, the Massachusetts Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (MMATYC) approved a new organizational structure. To acknowledge the fact that their active members spanned from across New England, the name of the organization was changed to the New England Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (NEMATYC). This spring, we will begin a celebration of this milestone anniversary. What better place to gather together for a conference and this momentous occasion than the place where it all began? I hope to see you in Worcester!

Warmly,

Philomena D'Alessandro

NEMATYC President

Professor of Mathematics, Quinsigamond Community College

Thank you to Middlesex Community College for hosting the 48th Annual NEMATYC Spring Conference on April 29, 2023, and to Aisha Arroyo and Joanna DelMonaco for Co-Chairing a great event!

The purpose of the NEMATYC Student Mathematics League Recognition Award Program is to foster extracurricular mathematics learning opportunities for students through participation in the AMATYC Student Mathematics League (SML). The top-placing student in the AMATYC SML Competition at each school in NEMATYC's region receives a $100 award. The only criteria is that the student must participate in both the Fall and Spring competitions. The top school receives the Lois A. Martin NEMATYC Student Mathematics League Award.

The first test of the 2023-2024 competition was given from October 28 through November 11.The second test will be given February 17-March 2. Visit https://amatyc.org/page/StudentMathLeague, or contact Aisha for more information at mailto:ArroyoA@middlesex.mass.edu.
