Conferences and Social events
In order to keep our students in touch with the mathematical community, we encourage them to attend conferences in Canada and the United States, and organize at least one trip each semester to a local conference. We’re regular attendees at the Colby Math Meet in Maine and the Hudson River Valley Undergraduate Mathematics Conference, which held every year at a university in New England or upstate New York.
Twice a year, normally at the beginning of each semester, we organize a math party. These are typically held at one of our professor's houses. The purpose of these social events is to encourage exchanges between students and professors outside of class hours. In recent years, we’ve added an exotic twist to those parties by giving them special culinary themes. Among other things we organized a sushi-making session in which students made and ate their own sushi! We also had a beach party (at 30 below zero) with fajitas! Last year it was create your own original poutine!
