Friends of SLMath Teatime Reception*

Marriott Marquis Washington, DC: Marquis Ballroom Salon 15 (Meeting Level 2)
* This event does not appear in the JMM conference agenda as it takes place during research session hours, but all are welcome to attend.
SLMath (formerly MSRI) invites friends of the Institute and donors to an informal teatime reception. Director Tatiana Toro will speak about upcoming events and programs, as well as the impact of private support on the Institute. This event features a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the MSRI Undergraduate Program (MSRI-UP). Students from our MSRI-UP 2025 cohort will also join to share their research posters with attendees.
SLMath thanks and acknowledges mathematicians who support the Institute's programs and workshops by joining our giving societies. For more information about the event or becoming an SLMath supporter, please contact development@slmath.org.
