Meeting with Math faculty candidates
Last semester, one of the Math faculty members, Dr. Ren, retired. The department has since been actively looking for candidates to fill in the position. This week, with a group of other students, we had the opportunity to meet one of the candidates, have lunch together in GDR, and attend their Math presentation. A number of faculty, staff, and students showed up to the presentation and were asked for feedback afterwards. I liked how the department involved students in the process and valued our feedback as well.
Currently, the math faculty have split the coursework among themselves and might be a lot busier this semester. Having completed my Math major requirements, I will be spending more time reading about specific Math topics to occupy my time and TA-ing as well.
