Academic life
Competitions
UVA undergraduates take part in the Putnam Competition and in several other national mathematics competitions and project contests each year. Dates, deadlines, and contacts are on the competitions page.
Math Club
The Undergraduate Math Club at University of Virginia is a weekly seminar and a club for students interested in mathematics and related areas. An up-to-date calendar of meetings is here. The Math Club is a students’ space having an official UVA CIO status (a student-led organization). This provides the Club with a student managing board which helps plan and organize events.
Aseel Farhat is the faculty coordinator of the Club for the current academic year.
The activities at the Math Club include, but are not limited to:
- talks by math faculty and graduate students, from the UVA Math Department, or visiting here
- math-related talks by people from other UVA departments (for example, Physics or Philosophy)
- presentations by local math-related industry companies
- presentations by undergraduate students on their research projects, activities, or something they find interesting
- panel discussions (for example, on REUs, or on careers for math majors)
- outside trips (such as to a math-related movie, or to the UVA 3D printing lab)
- organization of MMATHS, a nation-wide competition for high school students co-hosted at UVA

AWM
Association for Women in Mathematics Student Chapter at the University of Virginia.
The goal of the AWM Student Chapter at UVA is to support and encourage women in Mathematics, building a community of people who like Math, open to everyone, not just women. There are several activities planned for this year, including Math talks, a mentorship program, and panels on topics like research opportunities or grad school.
