How to be Successful in Undergraduate Research — Chad Awtrey <cawtrey@samford.edu>
This interactive talk is designed for beginning college mathematics professors who want a practical, evidence-informed roadmap for mentoring undergraduate research. Participants will learn why mentored undergraduate research matters, what effective mentors do, how to choose problems that are appropriately challenging, how to recruit and support students, how to help students grow in independence, and how to guide them in writing papers and delivering professional presentations. Participants will leave with a clearer philosophy of mentoring, a starter plan for implementation at their own institution, and a set of questions and resources for continued growth.

PreTeXt and Prefigure for Accessibility — Steven Clontz <steven@scholarlattice.org>
With new legal requirements for accessibility beginning in April (https://www.ada.gov/resources/2024-03-08-web-rule/), it is important for faculty to know how to author and share accessible mathematical documents and images. We will explore the free and open-source PreTeXt and Prefigure software solutions which produce print materials, accessible HTML, and even braille!
