Thoughts from Student Researchers

"Presenting our research before some of the best and brightest in the field was an incredible experience for me. I firmly believe that this experience was one of the greatest of my college career, and I am very fortunate to have had this opportunity." (Victoria Shults)
"Attending the conference was a real eye-opener. I was able to see what research is all about. The conference gave me the opportunity to take the abstract mathematics that I learned in the classroom and see where people use it in real life. Looking at something new and not in any textbook is exciting." (Gregory Dufore)
"My experience at the conference was a very rewarding one. I was excited to get the chance to present our research and show otherw what I learned. I am grateful to all of those who made our trip possible." (Melissa Matthews)

"Presenting our research at the Florida conference and seeing others present theirs helped me get an insight into how professional mathematics is done and shared within the mathematics community. It gave me a preview of what being a mathematician is like." (Victor Kostyuk)
