Directed Reading Program

The Directed Reading Program (DRP) at the CSU Mathematics Department pairs experienced graduate students with motivated undergraduates to meet weekly and discuss a topic of their choice. This is a valuable opportunity for undergraduate students to learn material not offered in classes, and for graduate students to contribute their expertise and gain experience in outreach and mentoring. We are planning for future editions of the DRP to include the Statistics and Physics departments. Our faculty sponsor is Prof Mark Shoemaker. 

At the end of the semester, undergraduate students give a summative talk about their work. Graduate students help their mentees to prepare for this talk.

Fall 2024 was the maiden run of the CSU Math DRP.
