Students Volunteer at Annual MathCounts Day

Nine students volunteered at the annual MathCounts day at SUNY Delhi in February 2020.

MathCounts is a national program that promotes math learning in Grades 6-8. SUNY Delhi has been the hosting site of Catskills/Broome Regional Competition since 1998. Every year middle schools from Ithaca, Syracuse, and Binghamton areas bring students of talent and enthusiasm to participate in multiple rounds of math questions in algebra, spatial and quantitative reasoning. Dr. Walter Bray with his engineering colleagues Frank Roma and Sallie Valentine coordinate a panel of judges. When Associate Professor of Mathematics, Joan Erickson joined the MathCounts team in 2005, she began to coordinate SUNY Delhi students as volunteers to better work with the visiting children, coaches, and parents.
