NASA WV EPSCoR to host Mentor Development Workshop @ West Virginia University, Lyon Tower, Morgantown, WV
Oct 18 @ 9:30 am – 4:00 pm

NSF-funded LSAMP MarSci-LACE has created the Mentor Development Workshop (MDW) a workshop that interactively engages potential undergraduate research mentors through the following five training modules: Introduction to Mentoring, Psychosocial Factors of Research Experiences, Ally Skills, Culturally Responsive Mentoring and Mentor Plan Development.

These MDW training modules provide an overview of mentorship, emphasizing the mutual learning opportunities for both the mentor and the mentee, and provide effective mentorship strategies and approaches, with a focus on broadening participation in research. Workshop participants will receive tools and resources for use in their own mentorship practice.

Mentors of every level will find value in participating and participation is open to faculty in ALL fields. Workshop is free and includes lunch.

SEARCDE 2024
Nov 9 – Nov 10 all-day

Welcome to the 42nd SEARCDE, hosted by the School of Mathematical and Data Sciences at West Virginia University, in Morgantown, WV, and organized in cooperation with The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM).

For more than forty years, the Southeastern-Atlantic Regional Conference on Differential Equations (SEARCDE) has devoted itself to bringing together the region’s leading experts and young researchers.

The meeting provides a valuable venue for researchers to exchange ideas and foster collaborations on questions arising from differential equations and applications. Moreover, it provides an excellent mentorship platform for students, postdoctoral researchers, and junior faculty. It has become a tradition for SEARCDE to include a significant proportion of talks by advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs, who are encouraged to present their research.  Additionally, application-oriented talks that focus on numerical or experimental aspects will interest engineers, software developers, and other professionals in the region.

Focused Themes

The conference which consists of four plenary speakers and parallel sessions with invited and contributed presentations will focus on the following themes:

  1. Analytical approaches to solving differential equations with physical, life, and material sciences applications,
  2. Numerical and computational methods in solving differential equations,
  3. Optimization and applications in control and data sciences.

This conference supports the Welcoming Environment Statement of the Association for Women in Mathematics
