Hello readers! A lot of exciting and interesting things are going on right now in the world of college mathematics. With this in mind, we thought we'd share links to a few recent news articles that caught our attention. 

"Award-Winning Documentary Series Explores Why Math Matters" (Penn State News)
The Pennsylvania College of Technology (at Penn State) is set to release an interesting documentary this Fall about the real-world applications of mathematics. Entitled, Working Class: Game On! Why Math Matters, the film includes an appearance from Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, who describes how to better market math-based careers to college students. 

"Several Departments at USU Remove MATH 1050 as a Degree Requirement" (Utah Statesman)"
In recent months, we have kept track of the changes major universities are making to their math curriculum regarding developmental math and degree requirements. Here is yet another story on the subject from a college newspaper—this time at Utah State University. 

"Adult Education Classes Teach Reading and Math to Thousands for Free--including Adults with Diplomas" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
Meanwhile, in St. Louis, the Post-Dispatch reports on a fascinating adult education initiative intended to help former students pass high school equivalency exams. Free of cost, the program also takes on struggling high school graduates who do not want to pay for remedial classes at community colleges.

A lot of things happened last September involving all the members of Faculty and staff at Pennsylvania College of Technology! Well, everything is a good thing that's why I don't have any complain about these updates. As long as the stuff are all good news, then I wouldn't have an issue with that. But of course, I will be happier to see more updates from them involving different faculties we should be at. I am pretty sure it's going to be a challenge for all of us!
