Ramapo College Student Jennifer Scancella Is A Presenter At National Math Conference

(Mahwah) -- Jennifer Scancella of Bayville, a senior majoring in math at Ramapo College of New Jersey, was invited to be a presenter in a poster session for undergraduate research at the Joint National Meetings of the Mathematical Association of America and The American Mathematical Society. Her presentation was entitled, "Graphs: The Good, the Bad and Everything In-Between."

Her invitation was the result of her participation in last summer’s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs), a research project funded by the National Science Foundation. She applied and was accepted to study in the eight-week program, "Exploring the Expected Rank Polynomial," at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. Scancella is president of the Math Club at Ramapo and plans to enter a Ph.D. program to combine study in applied and pure math.
