Joint Mathematics Meeting 2017

Being a mathematician requires collaboration and knowing others in the mathematics community. When I went to the Joint Mathematics Meeting, I was able to meet other mathematicians and hear a wide range of math topics. I was also able to present some math research at an undergraduate poster session. These are steps that a lot of future mathematicians make in order to be introduced into the community. If others are thinking about attending the JMM in the future, I would recommend attending as many talks as possible- planning ahead with the program. This experience is one I would like to share with my fellow classmates who are also planning on attending graduate school or thinking about doing so. Luckily, I have the platform of the Math Society in order to convey this information to other students.
