This award supports the participants of the Hudson River Undergraduate Mathematics Conference to be held in the month of April of 2020, 2021, and 2022. This conference, first held in 1994, will continue to serve students and faculty from a diverse list of universities, colleges, and community colleges in the Northeast. The goals of the conference are to motivate undergraduate students, in particular underrepresented groups and women, at all levels to attend and participate in a professional conference of the mathematical sciences; to provide students with an opportunity to learn about the community of mathematical scientists by interacting and networking with peers and faculty; and to provide a venue where undergraduates, share their scholarship, and practice communicating through preparing and presenting talks. This conference is distinctive because it explicitly aims to involve first-year and sophomore students as participants and because it is free to attendees. It is thus able to nourish the mathematical growth and collaborative experience of students and faculty at institutions that do not have the funds for conference expenses. The conferences will include two panels: one on how to make the most of one's college career and the other on career choices both in and out of academia. The atmosphere of the conference is exciting and encouraging and conference surveys have shown again and again that the experience of attending and/or presenting at the conference is key to retaining and encouraging students in the mathematical sciences. The problem-solving, reasoning, and communication skills developed at these conferences are transferable and will prepare students to solve larger societal issues. These three one-day conferences will each bring together 300-350 students and faculty from the mathematical sciences. Students, under the mentorship of faculty members, will give most (approximately 80%) of the 15 minute presentations which are organized into three 1- hour session times each with multiple parallel sessions organized by subject. All conference participants will come together for an hour long keynote speech given by a well-known mathematical scientist followed by a working lunch and two informative lunchtime panels. The conference organizers have an assessment plan to modify the conference's evaluation tool and to centralize storage and access of conference data and an outreach plan to increase participation by members of underrepresented groups and to include first and second year students, as well as high school students and their teachers. Through the preparation and presentation of talks, students learn to take complex mathematical ideas and present them in clear, understandable terms. In short, they are gaining first-hand experience on how mathematical scientists interact and communicate in order to further their understanding.

该奖项支持将于2020年4月，2021年和2022年举行的哈德逊河本科生数学会议的参与者。这次会议将于1994年首次举行，将继续为东北地区的大学，学院和社区学院的各种各样的学生和教职员工提供服务。会议的目标是激励本科生，特别是代表性不足的群体和妇女，以参加并参加数学科学专业会议；通过与同伴和教师进行互动和网络，为学生提供了学习数学科学家社区的机会；并提供一个本科生，分享他们的奖学金并通过准备和介绍会谈进行沟通的场所。这次会议之所以与众不同，是因为它明确地旨在让一年级和大二学生作为参与者，并且是免费的。因此，它能够滋养没有会议费用资金的机构的学生和教师的数学增长和协作经验。这些会议将包括两个小组：一个关于如何充分利用自己的大学生涯，另一个是在学术界内外的职业选择。会议的气氛令人兴奋和令人鼓舞，会议调查一次又一次地表明，参加和/或参加会议的经验是保留和鼓励学生在数学科学中的关键。在这些会议上开发的解决问题，推理和沟通技巧是可以转移的，并将为学生做好准备解决更大的社会问题的准备。这三个为期一天的会议将分别从数学科学中汇集300-350名学生和教职员工。在教职员工的指导下，学生将提供15分钟演讲中的大多数（约80％），这些演讲分为三个1小时的会议时间，每个会议均由受试者组织的多个平行会议。所有会议参与者将聚集在一起一个小时的主题演讲，由著名的数学科学家发表，然后是工作午餐和两个有益的午餐时间小组。会议组织者制定了一项评估计划，以修改会议的评估工具，并集中会议数据的存储和访问以及推广计划，以增加代表性不足的团体成员的参与，并包括一年级和二年级的学生以及高中生及其老师。 通过准备和演讲，学生学习采用复杂的数学思想，并以清晰，可理解的术语呈现。简而言之，他们正在获得有关数学科学家如何互动和交流以进一步了解他们的理解的第一手经验。有关本次会议的更多信息，请访问www.skidmore.edu/hrumc.htmc.htmc.htmthis Award反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估来提供支持。
