The 14th annual Northwest Undergraduate Mathematics Symposium will be held (in person!) at Portland State University on November 12, 2022. See more details below.
The 14th annual NUMS meeting was held at Portland State University on November 12th, 2022! The link to the registration site is https://sites.google.com/pdx.edu/nums2022 REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Friday, November 4. There is no registration fee for this conference. However, all participants, whether planning to present or not, need to register. Following the Keynote Presentation, there will be three sessions featuring 15-minute student presentations, as well as an activity session in which we plan to have panel discussions on topics such as: pursuing graduate studies, taking advantage of internship opportunities, and BIG jobs (careers in Business, Industry, Government) in which you might use your mathematical training. For more information contact Nathan Gibson at nums@math.oregonstate.edu.

The 12th annual NUMS meeting will be held, in conjuction with PiMUC, online as a virtual meeting using Zoom on April 18th, 2020! The registration site can be found at the PiMUC home page. As many campuses are closed, it is likely that you will have to connect to the meeting individually. If you do not have a laptop or other device that can connect to a virtual meeting, reach out to your department soon to ask for advice. There will be practice session appointments available in the days before the meeting.
