Program Description

CURE is an intense 8-week summer research program primarily aimed at mathematics majors. The program involves 4-5 undergraduate students, a faculty research advisor (Dr. Ian Charlesworth in 2018), one graduate student research mentor, along with the program advisor Prof. Todd Kemp. The goals of the program are to:

  • explore a topic in research-level mathematics,
  • promote collaborative work in the next generation of mathematicians,
  • encourage graduate study in mathematics, and
  • promote diversity in mathematics.

Participants are paid a stipend of $4,000 USD, in two monthly installments. They are expected to be working (together as a group) with their mentors on weekdays during the program.
