Division Activities
- MCS Division Mentor Award – March 31, 2025 Deadline
- The MCS Division of CUR is pleased to announce three awards (Early, Mid, and Advanced Career) to honor mentors for their success in mentoring undergraduate students in research. Faculty mentoring interdisciplinary projects are encouraged to apply as long as those projects involve a major mathematics, computer science, or statistics component.
- MCS Inclusivity Award – March 31, 2025 Deadline
- The CUR MCS Division Inclusivity Award annually recognizes a member for excellence and sustainable work in broadening access to the mathematical, computational, or statistical sciences. This recognition focuses on the implementation of real-world research projects for undergraduate students, with contributions that have made a significant and positive impact on a national scale or demonstrated strong potential to do so. A desirable contribution aligns with the NSF’s “broader impacts” goal, engaging a wider audience effectively.
- MCS NCUR Presentation Awards
- The MCS Division has selected two presenters whose NCUR 2024 presentations exemplified the fields of study represented by the Mathematical, Computing, and Statistical Sciences division.
