A BIG THANKS TO ALL OUR ATTENDEES AND SPEAKERS WHO MADE THIS CONFERENCE A SUCCESS!
This years Wasatch SIAM Student Conference will be held at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on Saturday, September 10, 2022.
The aim of this conference is to cultivate connections amongst early career applied math students and researchers and faculty members from Wasatch universities. The conference will consist of a series of informal presentations. Students, at both the graduate and undergraduate level, are especially encouraged to apply and present an introduction to their research interests to spur discussions between unacquainted attendees.
