Our Mathematics and Statistics faculty and students put countless hours into developing and hosting well-attended and highly-rated conferences that draw K-12 students, teachers, undergraduates, and faculty from throughout the Commonwealth and beyond.

Mathematics and Statistics faculty are the coordinators and hosts of the madiSTEM conference designed for girls. madiSTEM is a collaborative effort across CSM departments, and provides representation for a wide array of STEM disciplines. The workshop provides rich engagement opportunities for over 100 JMU students each year.
