Their Mission:
Our goal is to share career-building resources with students who might otherwise slip through the cracks of the educational pipeline because they don’t fit the mold of a “typical” mathematician. OURFA2M2 is an annual resource fair designed for underrepresented undergrad math students, by current and recent students.
You’re not alone on your mathematical journey. You’re with us now.

Their Mission
We believe in the power of mathematics to foster personal growth, strengthen healthy self-identity, and support desistance from crime. We nurture this engagement through one-on-one mentorship, providing incarcerated individuals with the tools, knowledge, and community to explore mathematics and gain marketable skills. Our mentors offer not only academic support and guidance but also create lasting relationships that ease the transition back into society. These connections often lead to employment, research and publication opportunities post-release, enabling participants to continue pursuing mathematics as part of a meaningful and healthy lifestyle.
