Ninth Annual

Contributed Presentations

NCUWM is a great opportunity for undergraduate women to present their mathematics research to a supportive audience. We have room in the schedule for 48 15-minute talks by undergraduate women and we have a very large capacity for poster presentations. As of December 29, the talk slots are full. We have a very lively poster session, and there are still a large number of slots available in it. If you prefer to give a talk but are willing to present a poster, we suggest that you register to present a poster but also send an email to ncuwm@math.unl.edu to let us know. If you have already registered to give a talk and are willing to present a poster instead, please let us know right away!

Schedule

The full schedule for the conference is now available. You will receive a printed copy in your registration packet. Please inform us if you find any errors.

Registration

• The registration deadline is January 19, 2007, but registration may close earlier depending on demand, so register as soon as possible.
• In fact, we are now very close to capacity for the conference, and so the registration page is no longer online. If you would still like to register, please send an email to ncuwm@math.unl.edu . Note that all slots for speakers have been filled, but preference for the few remaining conference slots will be given to students who wish to present posters containing their work.
• Don't forget to reserve your room at the Holiday Inn Downtown (402-475-4011; credit card required). Be sure to tell them you are with NCUWM. (Ask for "in house" reservations so you don't get transferred to Holiday Inn's central reservation system. You can also book on-line at www.holiday-inn.com/lincolnne , in which case you should use our three letter group code: UWM.) They will also need to know whether you are an undergraduate woman or a faculty member. Note that we will continue our policy of paying for lodging (Friday and Saturday nights, double-occupancy) for undergraduate women participating in NCUWM; the hotel will only charge your credit card if you do not attend the conference but fail to cancel your reservation by the deadline of Thursday, February 8, 6 pm. For more information, see the information at the bottom of the registration page.
