The Math Club is an active organization on campus. In the past year, members attended the Hudson River Undergraduate Math Conference, organized and presented a Math Career Night featuring successful mathematics alumni who live in Western New York, and sponsored a Christmas card sale to benefit a Jesuit high school in Micronesia.
The club also hosts an end-of-the-year banquet honoring graduating seniors, bowling nights and euchre tournaments. These are some of the ways the Math Club gets together to relax and have a good time, without the intense mathematical equations we all know and love.
Future plans include continuing the annual holiday card sale, with the profits benefiting the math department at Brooklyn Jesuit Prep and sponsoring members' trips to Projects Jamaica and Mexico.
