In Spring 2002 EPADEL launched a regional version of the National Project NExT program, Project NExT-EPADEL. Faculty members in our section who are within their first three years of teaching full time at a university, four-year or two-year college are invited to apply to become Project NExT-EPADEL Fellows. In addition, Ph.D. students in our section who are within one year of completing their degree are invited to apply. Click here to find the requirements and format for application to this fully sponsored program.

The next meeting for the NExT-EPADEL Fellows will take place at the spring section meeting at Cedar Crest College on April 5, 2008. This year's event is a workshop by the University of Michigan's Gavin LaRose, co-Director of the national Project NExT program. (See http://www.maa.org/epadel for more information on the Cedar Crest section meeting.) The workshop is open to all section and national NExT fellows, and anyone else interested in this year's topic. NExT-EPADEL Fellows will remain in contact with one another via an electronic mailing list and a closed Facebook group. Everyone is invited to stay for dinner, which will be provided free for the new NExT-EPADEL Section Fellows.
