COVID-19 Policy: We are asking all on-site participants to test each morning (and we will provide tests). Masks are optional. Please notify a conference organizer in case of symptoms or a positive test. For more details, here are the 2024 Consortium Conference COVID-19 Protocols.
Code of Conduct: The Summer Mathematics Programs Consortium supports equality of opportunity and treatment for all participants, and seeks to foster an atmosphere that encourages the free expression and exchange of ideas, and simultaneously seeks to ensure a safe and welcoming environment free of harassment, bullying, retaliation, and discrimination of any kind for all attendees of the Annual Conference. We are asking all participants to actively uphold this commitment to one another. In the event that something goes wrong, we have reporting procedures and response plans in place to address issues in a timely and sensitive manner. Here is the 2024 Consortium Conference Code of Conduct.
Recording Policy: The Consortium will be making recordings for the purposes of advertising and promotion of the Consortium and/or the Annual Conference, and there will be an (opt-in) group photo. As an extension of the Code of Conduct, we expect participants to treat one another with respect: obtaining permission before making recordings, not using recordings for malicious purposes, and honoring any requests for removal. Here is the 2024 Consortium Conference Recording Policy.
There is no fee for this conference or the pre-conference workshop, and we will provide funding to participants for travel, hotel rooms, and meals. See the the 2025 Financial Policies document for more details about what expenses are eligible for funding.
