Student Activities

The Florida Section of the MAA offers several student events each year at our Joint Annual Meetings of the FL-MAA & FTYCMA. The competitions are announced in our conference program as well as on our website. Currently, we offer the following:

  • The Executive Committee of the Florida Section of the MAA is presenting two undergraduate student awards annually at our Joint Meetings of the FL-MAA & FTYCMA. Each recipient of an award receives an Amazon gift card. The recipients are selected by a Student Awards Committee and announced at the close of the meetings.

    The Best Student Presentation Award is awarded each year to an undergraduate student (or students) who has (have) given the best oral presentation at the Joint FL-MAA & FTYCMA Meetings. Students are judged on content and content delivery, accuracy, slides, enthusiasm about their topic, and their ability to engage the audience and answer questions.

    The Best Student Poster Presentation Award is awarded each year to an undergraduate student (or students) who has (have) presented the best poster at the Joint FL-MAA & FTYCMA Meetings. Students are judged on content and accuracy, effective and engaging layout, and their accompanying short oral presentation or video recording.
