Elizabeth Ham ‘26, Celine Nguyen ‘25, Uyen Nguyen ‘26, along with Prof. May Mei, went to the Kenyon AWM (Association for Women in Mathematics) Mini-Conference on April 23, 2023.

There, they listened to a Keynote Address by Prof. Judy Holdener on number theory as well as student research talks on topics that ranged from dominoes to cellular automaton. Then they completed fun math activities and tie-dyed a math shirt. Of course, no visit to Kenyon is complete without a victory by Denison. Uyen won the undergraduate math contest with the top score of 22!

Thanks to the Kenyon Math Department for hosting!
