The Michigan MAA supports Black Lives Matter and dismantling systems of racism and oppression. The Michigan MAA Statement on Black Lives affirms our support of the broader movement to end racial injustice and suggests ways that Michigan MAA members can foster justice and equity within their mathematical communities. This statement offers suggestions for making classrooms inclusive and equitable, learning about race and ethnicity in mathematics, and supporting organizations dedicated to racial justice and equity within the mathematics community.
The Annual Meeting of the Michigan Section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) will be at Saginaw Valley State University, March 27-28, 2026.
Our travel grant application is designed to support students who plan to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting of the Michigan Section of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), March 27-28, 2026 at Saginaw Valley State University. This annual Sectional Meeting brings together faculty, students, and colleagues from across the state for engaging talks, poster sessions, invited lectures, and opportunities for networking and professional growth in mathematics and mathematical education. The travel grant helps defray costs associated with attending the meeting, such as lodging, transportation, and meals, by providing reimbursements of up to $150 per student. Applications must be completed by March 20th, and decisions will be made within one week. To receive the reimbursement, students must submit receipts by April 10th. Our hope is that this travel grant helps make participation in the Michigan MAA more accessible for students.
