Early nurturing through research and the exposure to role models and practitioners of research have led many persons, especially minorities, to pursue graduate study (leading to earning the doctorate degree) and research careers in the mathematical sciences. In view of the scvere under-representation of American minorities in the sciences; especially in mathematics, the National Association of Mathematicians, Inc. (NAM) believes it to be very important to hold an annual mathematics undergraduate research conference with the expressed purpose of attracting more American minorities to pursue graduate study leading to a doctoral degree and a res arch career in the mathematical sciences. The purposes of Undergraduate MAH-IFest are to engage in concrete efforts on an annual basis t directly influence the number of under- represented American minorities who pursue graduate study, leading to earning the doctoral degree in mathematics; to get doctoral granting graduate institutions to make a commitment to provide a supportive environment to assist these siudents in succeeding; and to permit these perspective graduate students to interact with cu rrent under-represented American minorities studying mathematics at the graduate level. Undergraduate MATHFest is about building productive oridges, partnership and avenues that lead to Sllccess in addressing the pipeline issues of under-represented American minorities in the mathematical sciences at the graduate/doctoral level.

The goals of under'graduate MA THFest are:

I. To bring together juniors and seniors from HBCU ' s/MI's who have been identified as having promise or interest in pursuing graduate degrees in the mathematical sciences; 2. To introduce the students to current areas of mathematical research and to encourage their interest toward research careers; 3. To motivate students, especially American minorities, through exposure to mathematicians who can serve as role

4. To provide an opportun ity for students to report on the results of their sum mer or academic year research activities; 5. To provide students with an opportunity to become familiar with many of the different kinds of exciting careers in the mathematical sciences; 6. To familiarize students with the graduate school process, the choices that must be made, and related issues; and 7. To provide an opportunity for one-oil-one and group discussions for undergraduates with guest , graduate school representatives, graduate students, and other undergraduate students;

Annually, NAM proposes to invite at least 75 undergraduate mathematics students (mostly seniors) from approximately 35 different HBCU's/MI's to a three-day undergraduate mathematical science research conference during a weekend in October or November. The program for the conference will include presentations by noted research mathematicians \vho will introduce students to current research topics. Students will also be introduced to several research career areas in th e mathematical sciences. In addition, some stugents will report on their research conducted during summer and academic year programs. Another feature of the program will be the focus on graduate schools: selection, matriculation, support systems, and other issues related to succeeding, as well as direct contact with graduate school representatives for assisting with matriculation to graduate school during the next academic year.
