Math Mentorship Program
For the past 8 years,
Gloria Mari-Beffa has run a mentorship program for
young women in mathematics. The program pairs students from high schools with graduate
students in our department to work together on math projects for about 12
weeks, meeting once a week for 1-2 hours. In a typical year,
anywhere from 7 to 18 high schoolers participate. At the end of the year,
we organize a presentation ceremony for the students, which many parents also attend. Students have returned
to the program many times, some of them for a full four years!
