The department of mathematics is engaged in a variety of outreach
and inclusive excellence activities that can be viewed as an attempt
to build bridges. Offering reading courses to undergraduate students
can be of help in preparing to apply to graduate school or to enter
the professional world. Outreach activities for middle and high
school students aim at the bridging the gap between K-12 and college
education. At every transition, be it from high school to college,
from college to a graduate program or to a professional career, from
a postdoctoral position to a tenure track research or teaching
position, there are gaps that need to be bridged. The central goal
of this website is facilitating the crossing of these bridges by
forstering the exchange of experiences, by providing opportunities
to interact between people on either side of the bridge, making
useful information available, and organizing talks, panels, meetings
about relevant topics. It brings together the wealth of activities
that the department of mathematics is engaged in and are consistent
with its goals.
