The Undergraduate Math Modernization Summit is a bold, forward-looking initiative designed to reimagine mathematics education for the 21st century. As rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, data science, and technology reshape the workforce, the traditional undergraduate math curriculum is no longer keeping pace. This summit brings together leading educators, industry experts, and institutional leaders to address this urgent gap and drive meaningful, large-scale change.

​

Hosted at Harvard from May 18–20, the two-day summit will convene 60 influential stakeholders committed to transforming post-secondary mathematics education. Together, participants will collaborate to develop innovative strategies, identify high-impact reforms, and build a national movement focused on equipping students with essential skills such as mathematical modeling, computational thinking, and data-driven problem solving.

​

The summit will culminate in the creation of a comprehensive white paper—a blueprint for the future of undergraduate mathematics. This guiding document will outline modern teaching principles, propose flexible and inclusive course pathways, and offer actionable strategies for implementing change across higher education systems nationwide.

By fostering collaboration and advancing a shared vision, the Undergraduate Math Modernization Summit aims to ensure that mathematics education evolves to meet the needs of today’s students, tomorrow’s workforce, and a rapidly changing world.
