Chapters are composed of faculty advisors and students seeking mentorship and support towards a degree/career in mathematics/mathematical sciences.
There are two types of chapters:
Local chapters: involving a single institution.
Regional chapters: involving more than one institution (CC/JC, 4-year colleges and universities, PhD granting universities).
PMA chapters support the PMA's mission by working with students and faculty and in recruiting/outreach.
Chapter Organization
Chapter Organization
Chapters are mostly student organizations but chapters should have a faculty advisor/sponsor who is a PMA member.
Ideally chapters should incorporate local institutions at all levels: CC/JC, CSU/4-year, PhD. Connections with community colleges are especially encouraged in the formation of chapters.
Chapters are encouraged to organize activities including research talks, recruitment activities, informative talks on academic careers in mathematics, and other social and academic events.
