Dear colleagues,

I hope you are all wrapping up the semester smoothly. 😊

You’re receiving this invitation because you’ve been part of my professional community through my MAA Minicourse or SIGMAA sessions, ASEE workshop, OLSUME seminar, or our shared service on statewide or national initiatives in mathematics education. I value your commitment to high-quality math teaching. I would like to personally invite you to consider joining us at my upcoming Professional Enhancement Program (PEP) at JMM 2026—and to ask that you share this opportunity with other colleagues in your networks. Registration closes on December 19, 2025, so early sign-ups are encouraged.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I’d love to see familiar faces and welcome new partners in this important work.

Warm regards,
Sheila Tabanli, Ph.D.
Associate Teaching Professor of Mathematics
Rutgers University–New Brunswick
