Note that it's for nearly $100,000... Woo-hoo! It has its own webpage

Activities:
Picnic! Picnic! Picnic! May 8, 2003 will be our Spring
Picnic. Directions here.
Here's a link to Mathematics
Awareness Month 2003, Math and Art! That's April. (MAM
2002 was on Math and the Genome.) We had three activities
for MAM2003: Movie Night with Danny and sarah-marie, an
art exhibit (follow link for pictures) and String Polyhedra with Dr. Schaffer
of the Dr. Schaffer and Mr. Stern Dance
Ensemble (a more mathy link of theirs).
About 50 of us went to the play Proof in February 2003. Pictures were
taken, and perhaps will be posted here when they are conveyed to the webmistress.
We will eventually have a colloquium page.
We definitely have some pictures of a Fall 2001 picnic and of a Spring 2002
Ignatian Program here (warning, picture-heavy)!
