The program is sponsored by the CUNY Central Office of Academic Affairs, and will include an evaluation component to gauge its effects.

Math faculty teaching the workshops also serve as campus coordinators for the program.  Special thanks to Professors Peter Gregory, Jeff Suzuki, Matthew Auth, Mahdi Majidi-Zolbanin, Joseph Fera and Satyanand Singh.  Follow along at #CalculusBootcamp

Beyond the presentations, faculty enthusiasm for the day was palpable.  Colleagues dispersed across a large University were able to come together around the shared passion of math instruction.  Special thanks to the planning committee: Warren Gordon (Baruch), John Verzani (CSI), G. Michael Guy (Queensborough), and John Velling (Brooklyn).
