Who: Anyone who is curious about PhD programs in science and math
What: A panel discussion in which recent DePaul alumni discuss their experiences applying for and taking part in PhD programs in pure and applied math.
When: November 7 at 4:30 PM
Where: in Arts & Letters Hall, Room 308 and on Zoom at https://depaul.zoom.us/j/95804448725
We hope to see you there!
Several students from the DePaul mathematics community spent their summers engaging in full-time mathematical research. Some students conducted research with DePaul faculty as part of the Undergraduate Summer Research Program, while others conducted research at external institutions. Regardless of location, students learned to ask and answer their own questions, and even proved things that had never been proven before! So cool!
At the end of the summer, the following students came together and presented their work at the 2024 Mathematical Sciences Summer Research Showcase:
Abstracts for the student talks can be found here: 2024 Summer Research Showcase Abstracts
Interested in learning more about these students’ experiences? Keep an eye out for upcoming DePaul Math Club talks!
Are you interested in conducting mathematical research? (Great!) You can start by talking to the faculty members you know or by reaching out to the MAT department’s undergraduate research coordinator, Dr. Emily Barnard (e.barnard@depaul.edu).
The Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics (NCUWM) will be accepting applications for participants between October 1 and October 18. This conference is open to all undergraduates and provides most of the local funding as well as some travel support. Students may present research talks or posters, or they can attend without presenting. The conference is helpful for all students, whether they know they want to go to graduate school in math or whether they like math and are unsure what to do with it. Please consider applying!
The conference will take place January 31 – February 2, 2025. More information can be found here: NCUWM
The College of Science and Health’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, with support from the Dean’s Office, invites you to our 2nd annual CSH FEST to be held on Thursday, September 26, 2024, from 2:30-6:00 pm on the Lincoln Park Campus Quad.We are pleased to bring this event to our college and the DePaul community after such an incredible inaugural CSH Fest last year. This event is an opportunity to kick off the academic year and to meet, greet, and engage with our new and returning CSH graduate and undergraduate students.
In keeping with the strategic goals for the College, the purpose of CSH Fest is to create a sense of community and belonging while celebrating the richness and diversity of our students, faculty, and staff in science and health fields. CSH Fest is free, and there will be snacks, games, prizes, cotton candy, snow cones, and an informational fair with CSH units and student organizations as well as other partners within and outside of DePaul. DIBS will also be making an appearance!
Throughout the year, the MAT Department hosts a number of informal events meant to help build and sustain our mathematical sciences community here at DePaul. These events provide an opportunity to meet with fellow MAT students, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as MAT faculty members in a relaxed setting.
We will have four teas during the autumn quarter:
These community hours will take place in the MAT Department office suite (on the 5th floor of SAC). Light refreshments, such as coffee, tea, and cookies, will be served. We hope that you can join us.
The DePaul Math Club meets Fridays at 12:00 in Arts and Letters 408. It’s a great time filled with pizza, beverages, great people, a relaxed environment, and some fascinating mathematics—math that’s both niche and underdiscussed and the hottest topics leading the math world today. We are usually joined by student researchers, graduate students, or professors—some from DePaul and some from other institutions—to share the math they work with. No math background required. We hope that you will join us for one of our upcoming meetings.

Thank you for spending another year with us and for being a part of the MAT community at DePaul. We will be celebrating the end of the academic year with a party and we hope that you will join us!
Pizza and snacks will be provided. This will be a great opportunity to chat with your fellow MAT students, enjoy some lunch, and get your official MAT t-shirt, tote bag, and other MAT swag.
We hope that you can join us!
When: Friday, June 7, 12:00 – 2:00pm
Where: MAT office suite on the 5th floor of SAC
Who: You!

On Friday, April 26, a group of DePaul students ventured to Indiana for the Annual Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Math Conference. The conference featured research conducted by undergraduate students, including DePaul’s own Owen Levens. In addition to attending (and giving!) research talks, students were able to network with other attendees and explore Rose-Hulman’s campus. Many good times were had and lots of interesting mathematics was learned! You can learn more about their adventures by visiting the DePaul Math Club Instagram.
Expenses for transportation, housing, and food were generously covered by the DePaul Department of Mathematical Sciences.
