9:00-11:00 a.m. (Theatre) - Professors as College Students: What Can They Teach Us?
A research project conducted all over the country, using faculty from different disciplines as “stand-ins” for undergraduates; what we can learn from their responses when we eliminate all barriers to learning except one; newness to the field.

1:00-2:00 p.m. (L-102) - Math Anxiety Workshop
This workshop is predominantly for counselors and math faculty, but open to anyone who wants to learn how to help students who experience math anxiety.

7:00 - 8:00 PM (Theatre) - Workshop with Sheila Tobias
Participants will view and discuss Tobias' film "Math Anxiety: We Beat it and So Can You" which documents the successes of her Math Anxiety Clinic. This session is open to the public with a special invitation to teachers and would-be teachers.
