Conference time in Houston

I have a good friend who is a math professor at the University of Houston Downtown (UHD).  He wrote me about some activities going on down there that might interest undergraduate students:
  • The UHD Scholars Academy Graduate School and Internship Fair, which takes place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, October 15th.  This is a place to meet graduate school reps (and internship companies) from all over.  See the following for more details: http://www.uhd.edu/academic/colleges/sciences/scholars/gsif.html.
  • The First UBM South Regional Conference, happens the afternoon of October 15th.  UBM is the National Science Foundation code for their program "Interdisciplinary Training for Undergraduates in Biological and Mathematical Sciences".  There is no conference registration fee, and it's only that afternoon.  See the conference website http://cms.uhd.edu/faculty/Tecarroe/ubmSouth2010.htm. This is definitely aimed at Undergraduates, who may also present at 20 minute talk.
  • Finally there is a conference on the research done at the W. M. Keck Center for Interdisciplinary Bioscience Training on October 15th and 16th. They do a lot of math at this place, so you should check out the web site for this conference: http://cohesion.rice.edu/centersandinst/gcc/keck_about.cfm
