The Northeastern Section is continuing a Section NExT program for new and relatively new colleagues at this years Spring Section meeting. By providing talks and workshops on issues of interest, opportunities to meet and share ideas with other new colleagues, and an introduction into Section activities, we hope to assist new faculty in their transition from graduate school to professional academic life. The Section NExT program will be on June 4..
On Thursday, June 3, the day before the Spring Meeting begins, the Northeastern Section will host a minicourse on "Creative Problem Solving", also at Roger Williams University. The presenter will be Mikhail Chkhenkeli, Western New England College. A minicourse announcement is posted.
