[1][2] Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Summer Studies ran online for a shortened program of four weeks.
The program was created by and is still headed by David Kelly, a professor emeritus of mathematics at Hampshire College.
The program is housed at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, and generally runs for six weeks from early July until mid-August.
During this "down time" students and faculty members often host quasis, where they participate in an activity as a small group, such as juggling or making sushi.
They return for the "Prime Time Theorem" (an hour-long talk on an interesting piece of mathematics given by a faculty member or a visitor), have dinner, and then spend three hours in a problem solving session.
