Outreach

Mentoring underrepresented groups in mathematics is crucial and personal to me. The June before I started college, I received an invitation to participate in the Grinnell Science Project (GSP), a week-long pre-orientation program which gives minority, first-generation, and female students an opportunity to explore the sciences at Grinnell College before classes begin. I attribute my current success to my participation in GSP and other similar programs, and strive to provide these types of opportunities for students from underrepresented groups in mathematics.

The SIAM Student Chapter at UMN coordinates outreach activites so that our members can share their excitement about math with undergraduates and the general public.

  • Math and Science Family Fun Fair Booth (Nov. 2013 - 2016)
    • Officers design and lead math games for this free day-long fair serving over 400 elementary school students and their families.
  • Count Me In Math Camp for Girls (Aug. 2017 - current)
    • SIAM hosts a week-long math camp for elementary school girls from the metro area.
  • Mathematical Contest in Modeling Mentor (AY15 - AY17)
    • SIAM officers organize a local math modeling commetition to select teams to participate in the international MCM/ICM. Selected teams are paired with a graduate student mentor.
