Conferences Where Undergraduates Can Present Research

  • Math Fest: The Mathematical Association of America sponsors Math Fest every summer. Student paper submissions are welcomed.
  • RUMC: Regional Undergraduate Mathematics Conferences. Through the NSF, the MAA is able to offer funding to institutions so that they may hold regional conferences for undergraduates to present their work.
  • Joint Math Meetings: These national meetings are annually held by the AMS and MAA in early January. The event includes exhibits, courses, social events, and networking and employment opportunities.
  • Pi Mu Epsilon Regional Conferences: Pi Mu Epsilon holds a regional conference in the fall at St. Norbert College (link) in De Pere, WI, and in the spring at St. Johns University (link) in Collegeville, MN, near St. Cloud.
