CAUSE Professional Development Opportunities at JMM 2010
Going to the MAA-AMS Joint Mathematics Meetings 2010 in San Francisco in January? If so, you'll definitely want to check out the two workshops and a minicourse that we will be offering. The workshops will consist of "Become a Catalyst for Change in Statistics Education" and "Teaching Introductory Statistics (for instructors new to teaching Intro Stats)". The minicourse is "Remodeling Data Analysis". This will be the third consecutive year of CAUSE's involvement in JMM offering pre-conference workshops.

AMATYC/ASA Web-Based Distance Learning Program

The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) and the American Statistical Association (ASA) have developed a web-based distance learning program to complement the AMATYC Traveling Statistics Workshops sponsored by CAUSE. These webinars will differ from the CAUSE webinars in that they will be longer, one to two hours, and involve hands-on activities with interaction between the presenter and participants.

CAUSE can now accept tax-deductible contributions
CAUSE has established a development account at The Ohio State University to allow donors to provide tax-deductible donations by credit card through a secure connection. You might even multiply the effectiveness of your contribution if you work for a company that provides matching for charitable donations (there are hundreds of companies that match donations to Ohio State funds). The CAUSE Support Fund will be used for pilot projects that further our mission of advancing resources, professional development, outreach, and research in statistics education.
