The Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science, Science Atlantic Conference is an annual regional event and will be hosted virtually by St. Francis Xavier University, October 22nd to 24th. This year Science Atlantic is celebrating its 60th anniversary as an organization and this annual conference, designed specifically to attract the interest of undergraduate students, dates back to 1978.
