Our Event
Every year, we gather hundreds of undergraduates from across the US annually to provide resources, support, knowledge, and connections to students who may not otherwise have access to them.
Our two-day conference includes two plenary talks, a resource presentation, a 5-person professional panel about opportunities, a 6-person student panel about valuable experiences, 12 stories from underrepresented mathematicians, 12 crash courses on advanced math topics, and two networking lunches.
Our Mission
OURFA2M2 is an annual event designed for underrepresented undergrad math students, by current and recent students. Our goal is to share career-building resources with students who might otherwise slip through the cracks of the educational pipeline because they don't fit the mold of a "typical" mathematician.
You're not alone on your mathematical journey. You're with us now.

Help us by recommending speakers!
If you know someone (from any career stage) who you think would be a great speaker for OURFA²M², nominations are now open. Self nominations are also welcome and encouraged! The form has explanations for the types of talks we're planning in case you do not know where someone may fit. The more information you can give about the speaker, especially why they are a good fit for the type of talk you nominate them for, the more likely we will be able to invite them based on your recommendation. That's especially true for people who don't have easy to find websites or CVs!
