Students - Activities just for you at the 2015 SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

Student Days at the 2015 SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering are days for students and about students. Organizers have planned activities and sessions where students can meet with both peers and professionals in their field, participate in a career fair, attend an information session on hot areas for jobs and research, and network with members of SIAM Student Chapters from all over the world.

Goals

Organized by the SIAM Education Committee (Chaired by Rachel Levy, Harvey Mudd College), Student Days are designed to encourage student participation in SIAM, help students learn more about applied mathematics and computational science as both fields of study and as careers, and provide a forum for emerging mathematicians to learn about their field from professionals. Organizers also hope to encourage those in the learning community to establish new student chapters of SIAM and to promote interaction between students and SIAM leadership.

Events and Happenings

Activities that will enhance the meeting for students include a special orientation prior to Friday’s welcome reception, a career panel and full day career fair featuring non-academic employers on Saturday, professional development sessions and reception Saturday evening, presentations by student chapter representatives on Sunday, a student lounge, sessions on Undergraduate Research on Monday, poster blitz and posters sessions on Monday and Tuesday, and a session for students with selected conference invited speakers on Tuesday.

Meeting with Leaders and Influencing SIAM (by invitation only)

Student Days 2015 will also feature the Student Chapter Meeting with SIAM Leadership. This meeting gives faculty advisors and student chapter representatives the opportunity to meet with key decision makers to discuss ideas for improving student chapters and ways that SIAM can meet the needs of current and future student members all over the world. Each chapter selects one student to attend the event as its representative.
