The hope to establish at the conference an atmosphere that sends the message welcome to the mathematics community. Most sessions feature talks by both students and faculty. Some talks describe original research done by faculty, students, or by students in collaboration with faculty, while others are more expository in nature.
Students usually start working with a faculty advisor in the fall to develop a project.
Projects must be completed by March. Students practice their presentations together before attending the conference in April. We have been able to arrange transportation for all students who wish to attend, and we expect we will be able to again this year.
