AMS Resources for Undergraduates Web Page
The American Mathematical Society provides a service called "Headlines and Deadlines for Students," providing email notification of mathematics news and of upcoming deadlines that are of special interest to both graduate and undergraduate students. These email notifications will be issued about once a month, and when there's special news. Imminent deadlines will be included in these emails, which will link to a web page that's a centralized source for information relevant to students and faculty advisors, at http://www.ams.org/news-for-students/.
