The National Science Foundation Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska $199,926 on September 1, 2026, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to host the Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Wisdom in Mathematics. The University of Nebraska will host the 29th NCUWM at its Lincoln, Nebraska campus from January 29–31, 2027, and will organize the 30th and 31st conferences in late January or early February 2028 and 2029, respectively. The conference program includes plenary talks by prominent mathematicians, three panel discussions focused on careers in mathematics, graduate program selection, and professional advice, small group conversations on varied topics, and undergraduate research presentations in parallel talk and poster sessions. The conference creates networking opportunities connecting participants with peers and professional role models. The mission targets undergraduate mathematics majors preparing for graduate school and career pathways using mathematics, addressing documented declines in STEM bachelor's degree attainment and elevated switching rates from mathematics majors. The conference, held annually since 1999, has grown from 53 participants to over 250 per year, with cumulative attendance exceeding 5,700 undergraduates across its 28-year history. The award runs through August 31, 2029, with performance at Lincoln, Nebraska.
