Workshop for underrepresented students in mathematics
University of Pennsylvania
May 3, 2024
Workshop description
UP GRADe is to take place at the University of Pennsylvania on May 3, 2024. This event is catered toward undergraduate students from groups traditionally underrepresented in math who are applying to math graduate school this fall or are thinking of applying to math graduate school in the future. We recognize the importance of encouraging and mentoring underrepresented groups in mathematics to pursue graduate study in mathematics and to seek mathematical careers. This workshop will provide activities meant to help you with the math graduate application process, as well as connect you with other mathematicians interested in creating an inclusive and supportive environment in mathematics.
Tentative program includes:
-
Advice on how to pick a grad program and what you can do before you apply
- Q&A panel with UPenn math faculty
- Q&A panel with UPenn math graduate students and alumni
- Networking opportunities
- (Optional) Personalized feedback on application materials after the workshop
We expect the official program to end by 5pm.
