Join us for Mathematical Sciences Research Day on April 24!
We hope you'll join us in Boone on Friday, April 24, 2026, for a special Research Day featuring the Pi Mu Epsilon induction and 50th Anniversary celebration, student presentations, and a colloquium by Professor Emeritus Mike Perry. This year’s event also marks a meaningful milestone for the department — our final gathering in Walker Hall before we move into the newly renovated Edwin Duncan Hall.
