Eligibility
Faculty teaching mathematics at a community or
technical college or other associate degree-granting institutions may
apply provided:
* They have a masters degree or higher in mathematics, mathematics
education or other related field with significant coursework in
graduate-level mathematics, and
* The 2008-09 academic year will be the first, second or third year of
their first full-time, renewable position at any community college.
(Note: Contracts for the current position should begin Fall term, 2006
or later.) Adjunct, part-time and full-time temporary faculty are
ineligible. It is expected that most participants will be recent
graduates with master or doctoral degrees, or adjunct faculty members
who have moved into full-time positions.
The first four groups of ACCCESS Fellows (Cohorts 1, 2, 3, and 4) are
listed elsewhere on this site. AMATYC Project ACCCESS will select
another group (Cohort 5) of about twenty-four participants for
2008 - 2009
Cost
There is no
fee for
participation in AMATYC Project ACCCESS itself. Funding will be
provided by AMATYC for
- Conference
Registration (Washington, D. C. and Las Vegas, NV
conferences)
- AMATYC
Project ACCESS workshops (Washington,
D. C.
and Las Vegas, NV conferences)
- Several
meals (Washington, D. C. and Las Vegas, NV
conferences)
- Airfare
(up to $450) for the Washington,
D. C. conference
- Two
nights’ lodging (double occupancy) for the Washington, D.C.
conference
- AMATYC
membership for the 2008 and 2009
We estimate
that the total
institutional commitment will be approximately $1,500 spread over two
fiscal
years. Assurances of institutional support and eligibility are of
critical importance in the acceptance process.
Deadlines
The deadline for submitting applications for the 5th Cohort is MAY 1,
2008.
Project Activities
New ACCCESS Fellows must be available to attend the following during
their fellowship year:
* The AMATYC Conference in Washington, D.C., November 19-23, 2008.
* The AMATYC Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, November 11 - 15, 2009.
* The AMATYC Affiliate meeting, the MAA Section meeting or the NCTM
Regional meeting for the Fellow's geographic area taking place between
November 2008 and November 2009. The dates of these meetings vary and
can be found at the following websites:

As an integral part of their professional development during their
Fellowship year, Fellows are expected to develop, implement, and
evaluate a project at their home institution. Fellows will also
participate in an electronic network which will link ACCCESS Fellows
and a group of distinguished mathematics educators.
