The Mathposium is a student-led mini-conference, first hosted in Fall 2022. Its goals are to expose undergrads and early-career grad students to math research in algebra, math ed, biomathematics, data science, and more! During the event, grad students and undergrads create and present posters about their research. The event has a secondary goal of creating a pipeline toward peer mentorship between advanced student mentors and undergrad and first-year grad student mentees. We’ve found peer mentors are invaluable, as they have experienced many of the same situations mentees face, can share resources on reaching personal goals in math, and also serve as role models for our mentees. The Mathposium consists of two main events: a poster and a game session. We had Giant Jenga, Connect 4, and Chess and created Math Lotería as our final group activity. Throughout the Mathposium, we also giveaway gifts, such as the Daily Epsilon of Math Calendar and $25 Starbucks/Target gift cards. This year’s Mathposium will also feature a panel of industry and academic speakers during lunch. Some stats on the first Mathposium: we had 17 poster presentations, between 80-100 attendees, and $1250 worth of free food and giveaways throughout the event!

The event was held on the 4th floor of Pickard Hall, the home of UTA's Math Department. Presenters hung and presented posters in the halls, lined with faculty and grad student offices. Many professors and students came out during the poster session when they heard the commotion in the halls! This year's event will also be held here, in Pickard Hall at UTA.

Below is the schedule for the Mathposium 2023:
