August 6-9, 2009 (Portland, OR)

• Nothing in the program, but the minutes from the 2009 JMM explain:
  It has been approved by the MAA graduate student committee to have something to help graduate students give a 15-minute research-type talk and have folk from Project NExT, etc. give feedback. This would be a way to practice talk for the job search. We're going to try to reach 20 students. (David and Patrick will be there). Dovetailing with that will be a workshop on how to formulate a mathematical presentation for undergrads.
