displayed posters that illustrated college level math and science, their daily regiments, their course loads and extracurrirular activities.
Some presenters had hands-on demonstrations and mathematical challenges to ponder. In all there were 100+ people in attendence including
parents, high school students, undergraduate students, high school teachers, college professors and college admissions representatives.
