I want to bring your attention to the following new course offered by the math department this spring which REPLACES MTH 309 (Linear Algebra) for all requirements.
***NEW COURSE: MTH 323 – Honors Linear Algebra***
Instructor: Sarah Muldoon
Lecture: TR 12:30 – 1:50 Park 145
Recitation: W 4:00 – 4:50 Park 250
This course covers the same content as MTH 309 – Linear Algebra, but in a smaller course setting (max 30 students) with more of an emphasis on concepts and underlying theory. We highly encourage this course as a replacement for MTH 309 for honors students and/or math majors/minors.
It’s never too early to start working with the Career Design Center. Come to a workshop on this Friday, October 14 at 1:00 in 107 Capen with Holly Justice, a Career Design Consultant.
More than just resume polishing, the Career Design Center can help prepare you for interviews, connect you to peers with whom you share professional interests and alumni in your prospective fields. They also can work with you to find internships that will help you stand out when it’s time to go on the job market while earning you Honors experience credits. Perhaps most importantly, the Career Design Service can help you think through professional possibilities that align with your skills and interests but may not be obvious to you. Come find out more this Friday.

Focusing on the formation of the deaf community before and during the War of Resistance, this talk explores Chinese deaf leaders’ endeavors and the evolution of the deaf community in the following two sections. The first section examines the proliferation of deaf education in early twentieth century Chinese society. After examining the evolution from a network consisting of deaf educators and educated to a national deaf community before the War of Resistance, the second section switches to dead elites’ reactions to the influence of the national crisis on deaf people, especially those who were impoverished and in plight.
Shu Wan is currently matriculated as a doctoral student in history at the University at Buffalo. His research interests include the history of deafness, disability, and disease in modern Chinese history. He currently serves as a co-host of the Disability Channel at New Books Channel and editor on the Nursing Clio.
Prof. Javier Ávila will be visiting UB for a presentation on Tuesday, October 11, at 6 pm in the Center for the Arts screening room. This activity is part of our celebration of the commemorative month of Latinx Heritage. His presentation will provide a perspective of American Latinos, their struggles with misconceptions on their identity and place in the world, reflecting on the value of diversity – all in a blend of comedy and poetry.
The four finalists from each category will move forward to the Blackstone LaunchPad Network Round and compete for $10,000 in additional prize money to further develop their idea.
Bonus: By submitting your idea, you will be entered into a raffle for a pair of Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones, a Nintendo Switch, and $100 of Campus Cash!

The SUNY Undergraduate Research Conference (SURC) brings together undergraduate student researchers and faculty mentors from across the SUNY system for a full day of multidisciplinary activities, including sessions devoted to student presentations (oral, performance, artistic displays, and poster), luncheon with keynote speaker(s), a SUNY Transfer, Graduate School and Career Fair, and professional development workshops for students and for faculty.
Why SURC?
Original research and creative activity are widely recognized as high-impact educational experiences that positively affect undergraduate students’ completion rates, career prospects and readiness for graduate study. Most SUNY campuses encourage such research and creative activity throughout the curriculum, through independent study and capstone experiences and/or via internship placements, and invest in opportunities for students to present their work. This allows students to engage critical audiences in their learning processes and hone the professional communication skills necessary for higher-order scholarship and career success. Frequently those institutions do so by sending their students to professional conferences and events. While such participation allows students to develop further confidence and academic skills and to network beyond their campus by presenting their work to students and faculty who specialize in their research fields, this opportunity often comes at a steep cost of sending students to distant conferences.
SURC provides similar networking and academic enrichment opportunities for students throughout the SUNY system at lower costs and more convenient locales.
By bringing together many hundreds of students and faculty from across the state to participate in SURC, we will help realize the synergistic power of the SUNY system. Students will benefit from networking and academic enrichment opportunities and learn about transfer and graduate programs available across SUNY. Faculty will benefit from networking workshops on integrating student research into their pedagogy or building research and grant collaborations.
SURC is supported by the Offices of the Chancellor and Provost, and the Research Foundation, as well as SUNY student and faculty governance organizations and, of course, the local host site.
All undergraduate students engaged in research/creative activity and their mentors across SUNY are invited to attend!
