- A description of the research results and any necessary background content to make the research accessible to undergraduate students and non-experts in the particular area of mathematics
- A description of potential undergraduate research projects related to the research topic, which the candidate would be interested in mentoring
The written statement should be submitted as a PDF file by Friday, March 1, 2024 to the Awards Committee Chair, Tim Comar, via email at tcomar@ben.edu. Please include "OGRE Awards" in the subject heading.
