Pi Mu Epsilon Applications
Applications for Pi Mu Epsilon are open now! Pi Mu Epsilon is an honorary mathematics society that invites students to become members regardless of major. The Nebraska Alpha Chapter inducts new members each fall, but this was pushed back to the Spring 2021 semester due to COVID-19. For the 2021-22 academic year, the application deadline and induction ceremony will continue to be in the spring semester.
