WHAT IS DRP?
The Directed Reading Program (DRP) is a one-on-one mathematics mentoring program in which graduate students or junior faculty members mentor undergrads in reading and research projects.
A committee of graduate students will pair a graduate student/junior faculty mentor with undergraduate student participants according to their mutual interests. The pairs will then work together during the Winter and Spring quarters. At the end of the program mentees will present on their work.

We're proud to support several events throughout the course of the DRP. Below are photos of our Career Panel from early March - look forward to more panels in the future! Check the timeline to stay updated.
