Departments

MUSA officers work hard to provide the math community with a variety of events. Here are some of our departments.

Outreach

MUSA's outreach team is responsible for holding events that not only improve the quality of life for undergraduates here in the math department, but also prospective students and math enthusiasts in the general public.

Most notably, every spring MUSA holds Shadow a Math Major Day for prospective freshmen. Outreach officers also are in charge of BUMP, the math department's mentoring program.


Social

We want to break the ice among the mathematics community, so we frequently hold fun events, including board game nights, pub trivia, student-faculty dinner, and pancake charades (you'll just have to stop by and find out). Free snacks (and sometimes dinner!) are provided, so stop by and make some friends.

Most of our social events are held on Thursday evenings from 6:30–8pm, in 1015 Evans! We're looking forward to seeing you there.

If you don't like going outside, you can also socialize with us online on our Discord!

Diversity

Our diversity officers work on fostering an inclusive undergraduate community - our goal is to create a supportive and equitable environment for students of all backgrounds regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability status or any other facet of diversity. Studying mathematics can be difficult enough as it is, even without the various institutional barriers that exist, so we aim to create a space where all students feel welcomed and where they can succeed to the best of their potential.

Liza Jacoby, a graduate student representative on the equity and inclusion committee, has office hours in Evans 1057 every Wednesday from 9am-11am. This serves a safe and confidential space to talk about experiences and bring up issues to the department.

More

Our academic officers are responsible for organizing Math Mondays, which are weekly talks given by professors on topics they are interested in.

Professional officers work with companies and industry professionals to run career panels and seek sponsorships.

Finance officers manage MUSA money and promise not to commit fraud.

Publicity officers advertise all MUSA events, make graphics and flyers, and are in charge of photography.
