Current

  • MEGL Projects for Fall 2021 New projects for the fall semester will be announced at the MEGL Poster Session, on Friday, April 30. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling bases through the summer, and additional projects may be added. Sign up for the prospective student listserv to stay up to date.

Funded Programs for Undergraduate and Graduate Students:

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:

  1. AMS-MAA Joint Math Meetings (location varies), January
  2. Shenandoah Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics Conference (SUMS) at JMU, Fall
  3. Geometry Labs United Conference (every other year), Summer
  4. Undergraduate Mathematics Symposium (UMS) at UIC, Fall
