The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at BGSU is pleased to announce a new Summer Fellowship Program. All new and incoming graduate students in the Department are invited to participate in the Program which will run from July, 2002 through August, 2002. The Fellowship carries a stipend of $1800 and includes tuition and all fees.

The focus of the Program is a teaching seminar (MATH 590) aimed at easing the transition to classroom teaching duties in the Fall. Participants will also have the opportunity to take a class in mathematics or statistics for graduate credit (international students may instead take an English class). This early exposure to graduate study will prove helpful in designing your degree program and in adjusting to your new surroundings.

The new Program is part of the Department's continuing commitment to quality instruction. Throughout your first year at BGSU, you will have opportunities for a wide variety of training and mentoring experiences. All new students are asked to participate in a two-semester seminar on teaching and other issues related to your professional development (a continuation of MATH 590). In addition, all new students are assigned an academic adviser as well as a faculty mentor. Your adviser will help you design a suitable degree program while your mentor is available for assistance with your overall development as both a teacher and as a student.

The Summer Fellowship Program is designed with your success in mind. All new students are strongly encouraged to attend. For questions, comments, or further details, please contact:
