The Department of Math and Physics held the 17th Initiation of the Maryland Epsilon Chapter of Kappa Mu Epsilon (KME) National Mathematics Honors Society. KME was founded in 1931 to promote the interest of mathematics among undergraduate students. Qualifications for KME are based on a student’s ranking in their class, their performance in math classes, and the number of math classes they have taken. This year, 6 students and 1 faculty member were initiated into KME bringing the total number of KME members in our chapter to 190. Congratulations to the new members!
