2. to include a broad range of students--not just a small elite--in our community;
3. to contribute to and learn from the larger mathematical community through scholarship and other public professional activities;
4. to support innovation in teaching, learning, and scholarship;
5. to extend our mathematical horizons beyond the classroom and campus;
6. to enjoy and celebrate the doing and learning of mathematics
