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.

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

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!
This past spring, the department was pleased to host 20 enthusiastic students from the Proviso Math & Science Academy, in an event planned by Associate Chair Karl Liechty and Proviso’s Rebecca Resnick. Drawn largely from the Math Club at PMSA, the students spent the late afternoon of Thursday, April 27 at DePaul, touring the Lincoln Park campus, talking to various DePaul undergraduates, faculty, and administrators, and learning about the department’s programs in the mathematical sciences.
After a quick tour of the Lincoln Park campus, the students settled in with several pizzas and various other treats for a Q&A session with Dr. Michael Roberts, Asst. Dean of Student Success, who answered many questions about matriculation and student services in the College of Science and Health. That segment was followed by an informative discussion with DePaul undergraduates Sarah Rashed, Max Scholz, and Kathryn Griggs, focusing on what it is like to major in one of the department’s programs. Of particular interest to the PMSA students was the student representatives’ experience with mathematical research. The students seemed eager to know how one goes about doing research in mathematics and in what areas of Mathematics or Statistics research might be fruitful.
That discussion wrapped up with a lively participatory session, led by Prof. Bill Butterworth, featuring the mathematics behind some of the games played on the CBS game show The Price is Right. Students played along with hosts Bob Barker and Drew Carey on video clips from the show, guessing prices and weighing in on other strategic decisions, to explore some of the elements that go into being a contestant. (Unfortunately, no prizes were available.)
The Math Club from PMSA has visited several times in the past 10 years, but this was their first visit since the end of the pandemic.
PMSA students pictured above: Virdiana Angon, Brandon Arnold-Wallace, Antonio Beavers Jr., Zoie Brown, Brianna Carreno Ayala, Da Miah Carter, Ivan Diggs, Diego Figueroa, Denize Grimaldo, Vanessa Guerrero, Jamaria Harrington, Amy Hernandez De La Rosa, Mayte Hernandez-Morales, Muhib Khan, Kaylianna Lewis, Cameron Neely, Michelle Rivera, Emily Rodriguez, Jordan Shorter, Julissa Velasquez
