The DRP matches undergraduate (mentees) with math graduate students (mentors) to read on a math topic that is not typically covered in our classes. This is a chance for undergraduates to dive deeper into math, have one on one discussions with experts, and explore a fun new topic with their mentors.

DRP Conference 2025: February 26 4:30-7:00pm, February 28 4:30-7:15pm (Schedule)

The DRP is offering "Spring Seminars" in Spring quarter 2025. Math grad students and postdocs have created the following informal seminars that will meet weekly with small groups of undergraduate students. If you are interested in exploring some new mathematics by working with a small group and collaborating with a mentor, check out our Spring Seminar page

Our standard DRP program for 2024-2025 will have a two quarter fall-winter session. Undergraduate mentees are expected to spend at least 4 hours a week on their reading. Mentors and mentees will meet weekly to discuss the reading and questions. At the end of each session we will hold a conference where undergraduate mentees will present what they have learned.
