Chris Schueler and Mark Searls were selected to participate in the Kansas State University Summer Science Institute on the Role of Model- ing in Physical Science. The Math Department offered courses ranging from general math to program- ming basic computer to calculus. At the WSU Math Contest Cullinane placed third.
