The National Math Honor Society held its first meeting of the year after school on September 24. Advocate News Editor Molly Lynch interviewed Senior President of Deepika Chitirala about why students should get involved in NMHS. 

Molly Lynch: Why should people join NMHS?

Deepika Chitirala: People should join because it’s a great way to be recognized for your mathematic achievements and get involved with math in a fun way by engaging in interesting math activities and also giving back to the school through tutoring. 

ML: What sparked your interest to join?

DC: I was interested to join because I’ve always loved math and I wanted to be involved in something that promoted and encouraged that love. 

ML: What does this club offer for students?

DC: The club offers students an opportunity to enjoy math outside of the setting of a classroom with grades and tests. It allows members to truly find a love for math itself.

ML: What events or activities do you provide?

DC: We host a Pi-day activity for the school that involves Pi-related games. We’re also planning activities to engage students for April math month! 

ML: Is there anything that people should know about?

DC: Applications for the club are now open and due on October 22. E-mail (Advisor) Mr. Ruzbarsky to learn more about the application process.
