UP GRADe Workshop

UP GRADe

University of Pennsylvania, May 3, 2024

 

The Workshop 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 thinking of applying to math graduate school this fall or 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
