We invite you to join us to celebrate:  The grand opening of the Professor A. John Coleman Undergraduate Lounge

Date: Saturday, October 19th @ 11:00am

Place: Jeffery Hall, Rm. 220

We look forward to welcoming many alumni, students, postdocs, faculty, staff, retirees and friends to join us in the opening of this beautiful new space! 

The inspiration and major donor behind this project is Tom Higgins, Artsci’79. Tom discovered a love of math early in life. As a young boy, he spent many summers at his family cottage with his uncle, a professor at MIT. “He showed me that math is everywhere. And he made it fun, so I really didn’t need much encouragement to pursue it.” 

Refreshments will be provided.

The graduate students of Queens are organizing a Directed Reading Program. In the program undergraduate students will be paired with a graduate or post doc mentor to research a topic over the semester. The pair will meet weekly until the end of semester where all the participants will gather to talk about what they studied and to enjoy some free pizza.

Interested students are encouraged to check out the website: mast.queensu.ca/~drprogram
which has a list of mentors and their research interests, as well as some possible topics. Topics will be catered to the students interest and skill level so all are encouraged to apply. The deadline for applications is Friday September 20th.

Math Quest is a mathematics camp for high school girls interested in math and science who have curiosity for exploring new ideas.  With a focus on problem solving, our hands-on activities are led by female mathematicians, statisticians and physicists.  Girls must be entering grade 9 or returning to high school for September 2019.  This residential camp includes all meals and 3 nights in residence (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights) and has programing continuing into the evening.  Day campers are also welcome and attend from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm each day. Snacks and materials are provided including a different CMS math camp t-shirt each summer. A limited number of bursaries are available to assist campers with financial need.
