2021 Online Undergraduate Resource Fair for the Advancement and Alliance of Marginalized Mathematicians
The 2021 Online Undergraduate Resource Fair for the Advancement and Alliance of Marginalized Mathematicians (OURFA2M2) is a fair for marginalized, underrepresented, and underserved undergraduate mathematicians. After months of behind-the-scenes work, registration is finally available!
Register here! Please register by 11:59 pm Pacific time on Sunday, November 27.
2021 OURFA2M2 will take place on Saturday, December 4 and Sunday, December 5 from 10 am to 6 pm each day. A full schedule for each day is available at https://www.ourfa2m2.org/schedule. Complete information about OURFA2M2 can be accessed at https://www.ourfa2m2.org/home.
Our Mission
As young mathematicians ourselves, we think a lot about the career-building opportunities we missed out on because we weren’t “in the know.” This is often because we didn’t come from families with ties to academia, didn’t attend the schools that those opportunities are promoted at, don't fit the mold of a "typical" mathematician in the eyes of those who should be looking out for us, or just slipped through the cracks of the educational pipeline in another way. Our goal is to share those resources with other undergrads so that more of us will know about and have access to the kind of career-building opportunities that were valuable to us or that we wish we’d known about sooner.
Please feel free to contact us at ourfa2m2@gmail.com with questions, recommendations, or anything else you'd like to share with us. We're passionate about this project and want to make it as beneficial to as many of our undergrad mathematician peers as possible.
You're not alone on your mathematical journey. You're with us now.
