Mathematics 491S - S-STEM Seminar

A community building weekly seminar introducing S-STEM scholars to the different directions of research pursued in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and applications of mathematics and statistics in industry. During fall and spring semesters, the seminar will be a one-credit course that S-STEM scholars can register and receive a grade for. Embedded within the seminars, students will work on short- and long-term goal setting for their program and career aspirations, routinely conduct self-reflections, and have regular peer and facilitator feedback. Seminars will feature collaborations with industry partners who have committed to share insights into important employee skills and knowledge, provide guest speakers, and advice on preparing competitive job applications, including Google, Microsoft, MassMutual, Zapata Computing, and Collins Aerospace. Students who are not S-STEM scholars will be admitted with instructor permission as capacity allows.

Enrollment is open to S-STEM Scholars or by permission of instructor.
