Parking around the Presidents Circle is free during the weekend.
Gender Neutral Bathrooms
You can find a map with gender neutral bathrooms in campus using the Campus Map. Please select "All Gender Restrooms" under the Map Features>Accessibility and Safety drop down.
There is a Gender Neutral bathroom on the bottom level (level zero) of the Crocker Science Center building.
Lactation Rooms and Child Care
There is a lactation room at the Crocker Science Center (located in the basement near class labs and classrooms - next to the women's restroom).
Unfortunately, we do not have funding for child care but we can try to provide names if you are in need of a sitter. Children are welcome!
Ethical Conduct Agreement
One of the main goals of Math For All is to create a welcoming environment for all participants. We wish for every participant to feel welcome, included, and safe at our conference. For that reason, we ask you to be mindful of your words and actions when communicating with others. We all have a bias and make mistakes. With an open mind and a willingness to apologize, we can create a safe space for everybody.
Harassment or discrimination of any kind based on race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression will not be permitted.
Hate speech is not permitted at the conference. We want to clarify that hate speech does not include the criticism of institutions or governments, but rather that of individuals or groups of individuals, and that we welcome uncomfortable conversations that stimulate a growth mind set.
If there is a situation during the conference that makes you feel unwelcome, we ask you to please talk to one of the organizers so we can help you as best as we can.
