[Qr-list] New Resource for Math Center Directors

[Michael Schuckers]

All,
I am happy to let you know about a new resource for directors of mathematics and quantitative centers.  It is entitled "A Handbook for Directors of Quantitative and Mathematics Support Centers".

This handbook is a resource for people who lead, manage or direct Mathematics and Quantitative Support Centers (QMaSCs).  In the book, directors will find information about how to 1) manage a center, 2) interact with other entities on their campus, 3) train and build a staff, 4) assess their center, and 5) start a new center.  Each chapter has been written by an experienced center director recognizing the diversity of QMaSCs.  Additionally, there are ten case studies authored by directors representing a range of centers, from community colleges to liberal arts colleges to large research institutions.  The funding for this work comes from the National Science Foundation through grant DUE-1255945.

Each chapter of the book is free for download through the Scholar Commons at the University of South Florida:

If you wish to purchase a bound copy, you can order from Amazon, or through Createspace (https://www.createspace.com/6462325).

Cheers,
Grace Coulombe, Mary O'Neill and Michael Schuckers, editors.
