Division Activities

  • MCS Division Mentor Award – currently closed
    • ​The Mathematical, Computing, and Statistical Sciences Division of CUR is pleased to announce three awards to honor mentors for their success in mentoring undergraduate students in research. Faculty mentoring interdisciplinary projects are encouraged to apply as long as those projects involve a major mathematics, computer science, or statistics component.
  • MCS Inclusivity Award – currently closed
    • The CUR MCS Division Inclusivity Award annually recognizes a member for excellence and sustainable work in broadening access to the mathematical, computational, or statistical sciences. This recognition focuses on the implementation of real-world research projects for undergraduate students, with contributions that have made a significant and positive impact on a national scale or demonstrated strong potential to do so. A desirable contribution aligns with the NSF’s “broader impacts” goal, engaging a wider audience effectively.
  • MCS NCUR Presentation Awards
    • The MCS Division selects two presenters whose NCUR presentations exemplify the fields of study represented by the Mathematical, Computing, and Statistical Sciences Division.
      • 2025 Awardees
        • Victor Gonzalez, Miami Dade College, On the Isomorphisms and Representations of Geometric Lattices
        • Vivaan Singhvi, University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, Optimizing Digital Phylogenetic Tree Reconstruction through Algorithm Design and Computational Techniques
      • 2024 Awardees
        • Moani Pomare, Kapi’olani Community College, Hawaii, Kakau and Mathematics: A Multicultural Perspective on Traditional Hawaiian Tattoos
