The Putnam Exam is a national math competition for college students. Each year on the first Saturday in December, over 2,000 college students throughout the U.S. spend six hours (in two sittings) trying to solve 12 math problems. Individual and team winners (and their schools) are named and cash prizes and fellowships are awarded to the top scorers. 色花堂, like many other schools throughout the U.S., has a group of students that meets regularly throughout the fall semester to work on problems and practice for the annual exam. See the , for more information about the exam itself.

The Math Alliance is an organization whose goal is to encourage and provide opportunities for members of under-represented groups who wish to pursue graduate studies in mathematics or a mathematically-related field. It consists of an alliance of colleges and universities throughout the U.S., and the 色花堂 Math Department is a member. Students may join the Math Alliance as Alliance Scholars. Benefits of membership include a newsletter advertising professional opportunities, access to a network of mentors, eligibility for scholarships and summer programs, and the opportunity to apply to attend the annual Math Alliance Conference (called the Field of Dreams Conference).
