The Mathematical Science Research Collaboratory (MSRC) and the Graduate Program of the Department of Mathematics jointly launched a series of Graduate Research Forums, where graduate student speakers give talks to the general audience of mathematical faculty and students. The inaugural Forum was held on January 25, 2025 and attracted a large attendance of graduate students and faculty.
Last Sunday, Feb. 23rd, our department hosted an Eastern Regional MATHCOUNTS competition. This is an official part of the National MATHCOUNTS competition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathcounts). We have hosted the Eastern Connecticut Regional competition for several years now, and it has been supported by the Department of Mathematics and UConn’s CLAS. This year we had around 150 middle school students (mathletes) registered to compete from 15 middle schools. In addition to the competition itself, the day featured a welcome message from the CLAS Dean, an engaging presentation by Alexandra Hain (Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, https://cee.engr.uconn.edu/people/hain-alexandra), and a trivia competition organized by our PhD students. The event would not be possible without many volunteers including
