UCLA Summer Research Opportunity for Undergraduates UCLA RIPS

The Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) runs a unique summer program for undergraduate students. The students in your math classes may be interested!

 

The Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) Program provides an opportunity for students to work in teams on real-world research projects proposed by a sponsor from industry or a government research lab. Sponsors have included Google, Symantec, Los Alamos National Lab, The Aerospace Corporation, AMD, IBM, and many others.  IPAM covers the students’ travel, housing and most meals, and offers a generous stipend. 

 

In addition to RIPS in Los Angeles, IPAM will offer RIPS-Singapore in 2019 in partnership with the National University of Singapore.  U.S. undergrads will work with students from South-East Asia on projects sponsored by companies based in the region.  The format is the same as RIPS-LA, but the programs have different dates.  English is the only language required for participation. 

 

Please encourage your students, especially women and underrepresented minorities, to apply.  Past successful applicants came from quantitative majors, such as mathematics, statistics, computer science or theoretical physics and had a strong mathematics background and some programming skills.    The RIPS web site at http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/rips/ provides detailed information and a link to the online application. The deadline for applications is February 12, 2019.  (Note: graduating seniors are eligible for both programs; international students may apply for RIPS-LA only).

 

We hope to receive a number of strong applications from UMBC. Thanks in advance for your help!

AWM is sponsoring a day of training and then interactions on Capitol Hill with legislators advocating for support of stem fields and particularly women and minorities in math. 
___________________________________________________________

This is the official information which has been circulated by the AWM:

Join the AWM for our Capitol Hill Day visit in conjunction with the Joint
Math Meetings in Baltimore, in January 2019.

See the attached flyer and sign up via our google interest form here!

What is it?

This visit gives AWM members a chance to meet with the offices of their
Senators and Representatives to advocate for legislation affecting women
and other underrepresented groups in the mathematical sciences and in STEM
fields in general.

Who can participate?

-college students, math majors or not, with an AWM chapter or as an individual
-grad students
-faculty
-mathematicians in industry and government jobs
-math majors who now do computer science, data science, or consulting, or
-something else entirely
-anyone who thinks that supporting STEM programs is a good idea

When will it be?

This will be an all-day activity on Tuesday, January 15, 2019. We’ll have
training in the morning, then travel into DC for Congressional meetings in
the afternoon. We will also have an informal meet-and-greet on the evening
on Monday, January 14. AWM doesn’t have funding to bring students in for
Hill Day, but in timing it with the JMM, we hope to provide an opportunity
for more to participate!

Why this matters!

We know there are many benefits to the AWM Hill Day, and hope you find it
to be a rewarding experience:

AWM brings issues of importance to our Congressional representatives,
AWM Members have the opportunity to visit the Hill and learn more about
the legislative process, and
All participants have a phenomenal networking opportunity, to meet women
across sectors (academia, government and industry) and at all stages of
the career spectrum!
Congressional offices now see AWM as a valuable resource. Because of these
visits, offices and committees have turned to AWM on issues concerning
women in math-related fields, from awarding Congressional Medals of Honor
to the women of Hidden Figures, to bills addressing sexual harassment.


Here is a presentation with information about AWM Capitol Hill Day:

Message from the coordinator below:

I (Marina Epelman) am writing to you in my role as the chair of graduate admissions for the Industrial and Operations Engineering department at the University of Michigan. This coming October 20th, my department is organizing a graduate school workshop for students that will be 1 or 2 years away from (potentially) applying to graduate programs at the time. I think this event should be of interest to some of the students in your department, and I was hoping you could help us advertise and promote the event among them, and perhaps if you know some students who particularly stand to benefit, personally encourage them to apply.
 
For the students, the workshop will be an opportunity to learn about PhD studies in Industrial and Operations Engineering (what we study, what kind of research we do, what kind of academic and non-academic jobs our PhD graduate pursue), see our campus and town a bit, and also get some insight and advice about graduate school, and in particular, application and admissions process in general — something that would be useful for applying to any graduate program. And it will be mostly (and for many, entirely) on our dime.
 
For our own benefit, we are hoping to use this event to broaden our pool of applicants in the coming years, and in particular broaden their diversity in all senses of the word — demographic, personal backgrounds and perspectives, and academic backgrounds.
 
Acceptance into the workshop will be competitive (we are aiming to keep it relatively small to ensure an engaged and interactive experience), but the application is quite simple — a very short description of prior research experience (if any) and interests, plus some biographical information and a transcript — and due in a month. The website with more information and a link to an online application form is at
https://ioe.engin.umich.edu/2018-ioe-workshop/
— I am also attaching a flyer with some of the info that can be printed out and posted and (since many students must be away from campus) forwarded to the students. ]]> Message from the coordinator below: I (Marina Epelman) am writing to you in my role as the chair of graduate admissions for the Industrial and Operations Engineering department at the...

clientele in Baltimore. Unfortunately, we don't quite have the numbers to
meet the demand. 

We currently have several University of Maryland students who are in
desperate need of tutors! Could you help us out? We are looking for
students within your Department that are passionate and knowledgeable about
teaching and learning. I've included a job description and a benefits
overview below.

All Frog Tutoring tutors will meet with assigned students to provide
one-on-one private tutoring for subject matters in their areas of
expertise. Tutors are to serve as a guide and coach to assist their
students to become a successful, independent learner while integrating
effective study and learning strategies to maximize the student’s potential
for academic progress. Ultimately, it is the tutor’s responsibility to
motivate students to want to learn, achieve, and be self-motivated.

Why Work For Frog Tutoring?
1. Flexibility
2. Tutors will choose which grade levels and subjects to tutor.
3. Tutors will create their own work schedule.
4. As long as tutors work the minimum amount of hours a week, they can work
as many hours as they like.
5. Driving Compensation Depending on the distance, tutors will be
compensated for driving over a certain mileage.
6. Bonuses Tutors who constantly receive high tutor rankings will be
eligible for periodic bonuses.
7. Incentives & Acknowledgement (Hard work does not go unnoticed!!!)
8. Tutor of the month: Every month the Regional Coordinator from each
region will submit one tutor to be selected as the tutor of the month. This
tutor will have their name and photo posted on the corporate page of the
website as well as our Facebook page. Not only will they receive public
acknowledgement and a certificate, the tutor of the month will receive
“special prize” which will vary each month.
9. Tutor Referral Program during our “busy” season
10. During times when there is a high need for tutors, current tutors will
receive a bonus for every person referred and hired that are qualified to
tutor in high demand subjects.
