Sonia Kovalevsky Mathematics Day at Emporia State University
Sonia Kovalevsky Mathematics Day is held on a Thursday in February at Emporia State University. This day-long conference is designed to honor and encourage high school women in their junior year who have shown promise in mathematics. The 25 public high schools located within a sixty mile radius around Emporia State are invited to identify deserving students. Each school sends a mathematics teacher to accompany between two and six of their students to this event. The day's activities include hands-on workshops, career discussions, a luncheon speaker, and a group problem-solving event. Separate sessions are held for the teachers. The students are awarded certificates at the end of the day honoring their accomplishments in mathematics. For more information, contact Dr. Marvin Harrell at harrellm@emporia.edu, or Dr. Betsy Yanik at yanikeli@emporia.edu.
