Annually at GMU
We encourage all MEGL participants who have completed one term with MEGL and are continuing to a consecutive term on the same project to apply to OSCAR funding for future MEGL research (both summer, fall, and/or spring).
We also encourage all MEGL participants to participate in the COS Science Slam after one semester with MEGL, and the Undergraduate Research Colloquium poster contest in the Spring (based on their Fall-Spring results).
Annual Undergraduate Conferences
We encourage MEGL participants to consider presenting your work as a poster at the following annual events:
- AMS-MAA Joint Math Meetings (location varies), January
- Shenandoah Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics Conference (SUMS) at JMU, Fall
- Geometry Labs United Conference (every other year), Summer
- Undergraduate Mathematics Symposium (UMS) at UIC, Fall
