First Year Buddy Program
This semester we will be continuing the first year buddy program. This program provides more support to entering first year students. If you are not a first year, would like to meet our new students and share the wisdom you've gained at Iowa over the past year(s), please consider being a mentor. As a mentor you will be assigned a beginning student. Then it is up to you and your mentee to determine how often to meet and what to do. In the past 1st and nth (n>1) year buddies have met regularly for lunch, gone on bike rides, attend concerts, hung out in coffee shops, hang out at bars, and perhaps skydived. It's completely up to you. Sounds fun, huh?
Let me know ASAP is you are interested so I can announce assignments by Friday. (All first years will automatically be assigned a buddy, so first-years need not respond)
If you have particular requests for 1st year buddies, let me know that too.
The first official first year buddy event will be this Friday. As we have done in past years, we'll meet in the Muhly lounge and then head to Joe's.

Welcome to our new blog!
The Math Graduate Board (MGB) exists to provide a forum for departmental discourse, to organize departmental events and to generally enrich the graduate mathematics experience at the University of Iowa. It is an official university student organization established and led entirely by math graduate students. The board sponsors several social events, including the semiannual Mathematics Picnic. We organize the Graduate And Undergraduate Student Seminar (GAUSS). We publish the University of Iowa Sum-Times, a monthly newsletter. Our constitution is available here
