One registered student organization that I’ve had the opportunity to join this year is Kappa Mu Epsilon, a mathematics honor society on CMU’s campus. I first heard about KME when Some of my fellow math classmates told me about the club’s first meeting in September. Being a math major and someone who loves the field of mathematics, I was excited to attend the first meeting and see what KME was all about.
After attending a few meetings in the fall, I quickly discovered that KME was a great place for me as a future high school math teacher. At our meetings, KME invites guest speakers, math game nights, movie nights, workshops, and professional development opportunities. Additionally, KME provides ample community service opportunities including our club providing free math tutoring to students on the Friday before finals week every semester.
By joining KME, I have not only expanded my mathematical knowledge on countless topics but I also have gained valuable connections with faculty, students, and future colleagues that have better prepared me for my future career.
