Announcements
The colloquia will kick off with Thomas Rothvoss speaking on October 18th followed by a joint talk with CSE and Statistics in November. Please try to attend these talks and also join the pre-colloquia socials in the math lounge.
Husky Math Academy is a new program under the UW Math Circle umbrella. They are looking for more instructors and TAs as the program continues to expand. The UW Math Circle is also looking for speakers who are able to relate to middle and high school students. If any of the colloquium speakers meet this criteria, please ask them if they'd also be interested in giving a talk at the Math Circle.
Math Day is currently stalled due to support changes at the UW. It’s been a very popular and successful outreach program that has been offered for many years but to keep it going volunteers will need to help build the program from the bottom up.
Putnam Prep is in need of volunteers to help with the training sessions.
An alumni event is being planned for the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) downtown on January 9th. Please save the date on your calendars. More details to come.
The Graduate Admissions Committee is in need of volunteers from a variety of fields and backgrounds to help review applications from prospective grad students.
