Conferences

There are upcoming conferences that students and faculty may consider attending.

Women in Mathematics in the Northeast 2012 (September 22, 2012)
This year's meeting of Women in Mathematics in the Northeast (WIMIN) is being held on September 22, 2012 at Smith College. This is a one-day undergraduate conference in mathematics and statistics that is open to all. There is no registration fee, and the program includes plenary talks, short talks by students, a panel on being a graduate student, and a free lunch. Students can register on the meeting's website, and anyone who is interested in attending can speak to Prof. Kerr about how to go about preparing for the conference. Plenary Speakers include Christine Heitsch (Georgia Tech) and Annalisa Crannell (Franklin & Marshall College).

MAA Northeastern Section (November 16-17, 2011)
The Fall section meeting for the Mathematics Association of America is being held at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, MA. The Northeastern section's webspage will soon post information about the details of this conference. The department is typically invited to have students submit talks to this meeting, so anyone interested in presenting there should talk to a faculty member about their interest.
