[GEOG MAJORS] WDRP Undergraduate Applications are Open for Winter 2024

[Nell Gross]

Dear student interested in mathematics,

The Washington Directed Reading Program (WDRP) is an initiative from the Mathematics Department which launched in Fall 2018. The WDRP is modeled after successful Directed Reading Programs (DRPs) at other universities around the country. This program pairs interested undergraduate students with graduate student mentors to embark on a quarter-long independent mathematics reading project. We expect to have around 10 projects in Winter 2024.

Applications will be open until Monday, December 18, at 5:00 pm PDT, and applicants will be notified by January 8 at the latest. To learn more about upcoming reading projects and apply, go to sites.uw.edu/wdrp/applications<http://sites.uw.edu/wdrp/applications>.

The main components of the program are:

  *   Start-of-quarter kickoff event, including an introduction to the program and time to mingle with other undergraduate and graduate students
  *   One-on-one weekly meetings between undergraduate student mentees and graduate student mentors to discuss weekly readings
  *   Mid-quarter social event for undergraduates only
  *   End-of-quarter presentations by undergraduate students on topics selected from their readings

In addition, 1 credit (CR/NC) for Math 398 is available to undergraduate students participating in and successfully completing the program. Note that you will not be able to sign up for this credit until after you have applied for and been accepted into the program, at which time we will provide further information about enrolling.

For more information and some sample projects, please see our website sites.uw.edu/wdrp<http://sites.uw.edu/wdrp>. Feel free to ask any other questions by sending an email to wdrp at uw.edu<mailto:wdrp at uw.edu>.

Best wishes,
The WDRP Organizers
Alex Waugh, Juan Salinas, and Yirong Yang
