AMATYC Project
Advancing Community College Careers: Education, Scholarship, and Service (ACCCESS)
is a program to develop new full time community college mathematics
faculty. The program includes peer involvement and mentors to develop the
participants through special workshops at two consecutive AMATYC national
conferences and through a professional development project between the two
conferences. The participants present their projects to the group at the
second conference. A sampling of workshop topics from the AMATYC meeting in
Minneapolis, November 2007 and this year’s professional development project
will be discussed. At the end of the presentation information regarding
applying for the AMATYC Project ACCCESS 2008 – 2009 Cohort will be
