Sponsor a Two-Year College Student at the AMATYC Conference

Do you know a two-year college student who is considering a career in mathematics or mathematics education? Do you have a student who comes to you for career advice? An exciting, new opportunity exists for you and that student at this fall’s conference. You can sponsor the attendance of twoyear college students at the “New Orleans in Minneapolis” Conference! Two-year college students who are sponsored by an AMATYC member will be able to attend the conference at a reduced rate of $25 for registration. The students will be able to attend any sessions and activities at the conference, except those where meals are provided or tickets are required. However, students can purchase tickets for meals or the other events if desired and can attend the program that follows the meals! They can visit the exhibit hall; attend the symposium, forums and poster sessions; listen to many exciting sessions; and obtain that professional “high” we get when we attend AMATYC conferences! Check the AMATYC conference website for a student registration form and more information. The deadline for students to register is September 30; two-year college student registrations will not be accepted after the September 30 deadline!
