HRUMC, the largest undergraduate mathematics conference in the U.S., serves as a model for similar conferences all over the country. The Union math department has been involved in organizing the conference since it started in 1994, and has hosted the conference twice.
This year's conference drew about 500 participants from colleges and universities all over the Northeast.
