IGEN-Math

IGEN-Math aims to improve opportunities for underrepresented undergraduates who pursue graduate degrees and post-graduate endeavors in the mathematical sciences.
Mathematics benefits from the full participation of everyone who is interested. We look forward to facilitating pathways for previously underrepresented Black, Indigenous, Latine, Pacific Islander, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian scholars.

We have two goals:

1. Create a hub for undergraduates in the mathematical sciences who seek bridge programs to a graduate education.

2. Build a network of universities that both grant doctoral degrees and offer IGEN mentoring support for students to complete their PhDs.

To achieve these goals:

We are seeking input from the mathematics community by:

• Engaging with mathematics professionals and students to collect information on needs, opportunities, and successful practices to inform and incorporate into the IGEN-Math framework
• Collaborating with other successful bridge programs in the scientific community to identify components to integrate into the IGEN-Math framework
• Visiting academic departments that have a significant number of underrepresented undergraduate math majors to assess the support needed to improve equity challenges to graduate education and gauge interest in bridge programs
• Creating partnerships with doctoral-granting institutions to build a central hub for bridge programs in the mathematical sciences

We'd like to hear from you!

Students and faculty: we want your thoughts on how best to improve underrepresented students' journeys into graduate study and beyond. Email us with your insights today.
