It can be difficult to gather the information you need to build your math career.
We've been there, and we've got your back.
Our Mission
OURFA2M2 is an annual resource fair 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.

Our Event
Our two-day annual conference includes 16 sections ranging from 20-90 minutes, with 30+ sessions total (several run in parallel). We offer a resource presentation, 8 crash courses on advanced math topics, 12 stories from marginalized mathematicians, a professional panel about opportunities, a student panel about valuable experiences, 2 networking lunches, 2 keynote talks, and 4 allyship workshops for faculty.
Is this conference for me?
This conference is for:
undergraduate students at all levels, from students taking pre-calculus to upperclassmen
students who want to learn about career-building opportunities and how to become a competitive applicant
students who want to connect with peers and potential mentors
Anyone is welcome to attend, and our programming is curated for students from underrepresented and marginalized groups in mathematics.
We also encourage attendance of faculty and leaders of math organizations interested in connecting with, mentoring, or recruiting students from diverse backgrounds.
Please share our poster with your department, professors, students, colleagues, friends, pets, or anyone else you think might be interested!
