The first Shenandoah Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics (SUMS) 
Conference will be held at James Madison University on November 12, 2005. 
SUMS will feature short contributed talks by undergraduates about their 
research, accessible invited talks by working mathematicians, a math 
careers panel, an invited talk intended specifically for high school 
students, and a poster session.

We hereby invite you attend SUMS, and ask that you please forward this 
information to your colleagues and students.  If you have students who 
have done research as undergraduates (even if they are currently graduate 
students), please encourage them to submit a talk.  In particular, we hope 
that students who have recently participated in your REU will be 
interested. We are also soliciting poster presentations on any 
mathematical topic.  All mathematically inclined students are encouraged 
to attend, regardless of previous research activity.  Students who have 
done research this summer should find that the conference is a good place 
to polish talks before the Joint Meetings.

The conference is free and open to the mathematical community, including 
undergraduates, faculty, graduate students, high school students, and 
teachers. Lunch will be provided free to participants who register by 
October 21.  Limited travel support is available for participants in all 
categories.

Funding for SUMS at JMU is provided by NSF grant DMS-0241090 through the 
MAA Regional Undergraduate Mathematics Conferences Program. Additional 
support is provided by the College of Science and Mathematics at James 
Madison University, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at James 
Madison University, the Math Club at JMU, the Association for Women in 
Science, the Research Experience for Undergraduates program at JMU, and 
James Madison University.

Sincerely,

Dr. Laura Taalman
