Update from Jessie Ann Owens, President, AMS NorCal (March 23, 2020)
I am pleased to report that we will be able to hold the Dahl competition this year, the final time it will be open to graduate students registered in both the Northern California and Pacific Southwest chapters. (Next year, the Northern California chapter will hold a competition open just to students registered in our chapter.) The meeting will be held virtually by Zoom, hosted by Beverly Wilcox at California State University, Sacramento. Following the presentations, there will be a brief (virtual) business meeting. Many thanks to Bev for hosting us!
We will keep the same deadline for abstracts that we announced earlier, April 7. Please submit an abstract of 300 words, along with the proposed title, author’s name and institutional affiliation via email to: amsnorthcal@gmail.com.
A graduate student committee chaired by last year’s winner, Malachai Komanoff Bandy (USC), will select three finalists. They will present their papers via Zoom on Sunday, May 3. The Dahl Committee will then decide which paper will receive the award.
Details about the Zoom meeting will be sent once the program is set.
I am also pleased to report that our website is now up and running, with many thanks to JoAnn Taricani. Because we’ve been a year without updates, there will be some catch up work to do. Please email me with corrections and updates: jaowens@ucdavis.edu. The new address is— https://norcal.ams-net.org/
