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
Our Mission
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. OURFA2M2 is an annual resource fair designed for underrepresented undergrad math students, by current and recent students.
