This workshop aims to support mathematics graduate students in their transition to research in the areas of combinatorics, algebra, geometry, and number theory (broadly construed). Mentors guide small groups of participants in developing the skills and confidence to read research articles. Sessions on norm setting, belongingness, and professional development foster lasting community among the participants, mentors, and organizers. The workshop is designed to build a welcoming and supportive research community.
The Mentors are:
Algebra: Ranthony Clark and Yariana Diaz
Combinatorics: Anastasia Chavez and Rebecca Garcia
Geometry: Johanna Mangahas and Brandis Whitfield
Number Theory: Cathy Hsu and Edna Jones
Applications are open to all mathematics graduate students in their first three years of study who would like to be part of building this supportive community. The application deadline is March 1, 2026 by midnight Pacific time.
