MAT gives back
Shortly before the start of autumn classes, eighteen faculty and staff from Mathematical Sciences joined together and spent the day volunteering with Nourishing Hope, one of the largest and longest-operating hunger relief organizations in Chicago. Volunteers spent the day packing groceries, sorting food, and assisting in other important tasks.

CSH Fest 2024 – Save the Date!
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!
Please save the date and spread the word to your friends. More information with an RSVP is coming soon!
MAT Community Tea & Coffee Hour Dates for Autumn 2024
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:
- Friday, 9/20 at 1:30-2:45 pm
- Friday, 10/4 at 1:30-2:45 pm
- Friday, 10/18 at 1:30-2:45 pm
- Friday, 11/1 11/8 at 1:30-2:45 pm
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.
DePaul Math Club
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.

Getting Involved with the DePaul Math Club
The DePaul Math Club (DMC)has had a busy and exciting school year! Throughout the year, DMC has hosted and participated in many wonderfully successful events. Recently, this list has included the following:
- The week before Winter Quarter finals, six DePaul math students road-tripped to Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois for the annual meeting of the Illinois Section of the Mathematical Association of America. They reported that it was an absolute blast to carpool across Illinois, attend talks, participate in activities, and hang out at their Airbnbs.
- On Friday, April 19, twenty-five students participated in the CSH First Annual Integration Bee, which proved to be a huge success for all. In addition to the intense, but friendly competition (see results in above article), there were plenty of chances to mingle, munch on tasty treats, and participate in other fun activities. First place won $500, $200 went to second place, and third took home $100.
- On Friday, April 26, a group of students ventured to Indiana for the Annual Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Math Conference, where they attended talks and networked with other attendees. Expenses for transportation, housing, and food were generously covered by the DePaul Math Department.

CSH Integration Bee on Friday, 4/19
Why are Integrals so awesome? They’re like puzzle pieces that unlock a world of possibilities! From finding areas and volumes to pinpointing central locations, they’re the superheroes of math, science, and beyond!
But wait, there’s more! Picture this: a showdown of epic proportions, where students go head-to-head, solving integrals in a race against time. Well that’s our Integration Bee—an electrifying math tournament where every answer unlocks the door to victory! Plus, it’s not just about the competition. There’ll be plenty of chances to mingle, munch on tasty treats, and dive into fun activities.
If that wasn’t exciting enough, the CSH Integration Bee is awarding $500 to the first place winner, $200 to second place, and $100 to third. The CSH Integration Bee will take place 12:00pm-3:00pm on Friday, April 19 in McGowan South 107. Sign up here by April 12th! If you don’t want to compete, no worries–come watch your peers beat each other to bloody pulps with calculus for money! Flyer and info sheet attached!
