The Student Engagement page highlights various extracurricular activities designed by the Department of Mathematics to enhance student involvement and personal growth. These activities may include, Honor Societies and clubs, Math contests, volunteering opportunities, and interactive and educational games to make learning fun and exciting.

Honor Societies and Clubs for Math majors play an important role in fostering academic excellence. Their mission is to promote leadership, personal growth among students, and a supportive community where members can build meaningful relationships, pursue intellectual and professional development, access scholarship opportunities and contribute positively to their school and communities. The Department of Mathematics currently has the Math Club, Beta Kappa Chi, and Pi Mu Epsilon for students to join.

The Department of Mathematics offers several Math Contests that play a crucial role in developing students’ problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities. By challenging students to solve complex problems, these contests enhance their analytical capabilities and encourage them to think outside the box. Successfully tackling difficult math problems can significantly boost students’ confidence in their abilities, making them more self-assured in their academic pursuits.

Additionally, these contests foster a love for mathematics by making the subject fun and competitive. They prepare students for future challenges by teaching them how to handle pressure and competition, skills that are useful in many aspects of life. These contests also provide opportunities for networking and collaboration, allowing students to meet and work with peers who share similar interests.

Attending conferences offers students a unique opportunity to deepen their knowledge in Mathematics, network with students and professionals in the Mathematical community, and gain insights into current and relevant topics in Mathematics. The Department of Mathematics, in alignment with its mission to provide students an enriching experience and essential support for their academic and personal success, provides opportunities for student to participate in different conferences across the Country.

There are also volunteering opportunities that allow students to make a positive impact in their community while gaining practical experience and developing essential skills.

The Department provides space for students to make learning enjoyable by incorporating fun activities in a relaxed setting. These activities foster a sense of community among students, promoting positive relationships and collaboration. The activities also help develop a positive attitude towards learning and encourage continuous engagement.
