The
TRiO Student Support Services is a federally funded program which is designed to provide academic and ancilliary support to low-income students, first generation college students, and students with disabilities.Math majors and students with strong communication skills and abilities in mathematics and statistics are encouraged to obtain part-time tutoring postions for TRiO.
-
The
Juneau Campus Learning Center Homepage contains information on resources available to students. This is a great place to study and work on homework in a group setting. Math majors and students with strong communication skills and abilities in mathematics and statistics are encouraged to obtain part-time tutoring postions at the Learning Center.

- The
Egan Library Student Resources Page has useful infomation on conducting searches of sources. It also has email addresses of library staff who can help in various ways.
- Each year, for the past several years, the mathematics community has observed April as Math Awareness Month. The
Mathematics Awareness Website is designed for this very purpose with the goal to increase public understanding of and appreciation for mathematics. This site also has links to math awareness pages from earlier years.
Careers and Graduate School
- Information on opportunities for current undergraduate mathematics majors are available on the
Undergraduate Mathematics Majors Page
of the AMS website. This page provides information on graduate programs
in mathematics and the various ways in which graduate students of
mathematics may fund their graduate studies. The information also
includes various summer opportunities available through NSF and REU
sponsered programs, internships and jobs,career options/profiles for
mathematics majors, etc.
-
Some more sources and tips on career options/profiles for careers and tips for choosing graduate schools in the mathematical sciences can be found on the
MAA Career Profiles Page, the
AWM Career Resources Page, the
SIAM Students' Page and the NSF publication on
Opportunities for the Mathematical Sciences.
