2021 Spring Mixer

Published April 9, 2021

The 2021 Spring mixer took place on Saturday, March 27 on Zoom. A total of 10 students and 5 faculty members participated in this virtual event.

The mixer started with a quick activity on menti.com where students responded to the prompt, "What inspires and motivates you about mathematics and/or science?" The program PI, Dr. Jen-Mei Chang, then provided updates of the current student cohort and made announcements.

The rest of the time was filled with students sharing their graduation and summer plans as well as struggles they have experienced this semester and how they overcome them. Students and faculty mentors shared relevant resources as needed. The event ended with two rounds of Speedfriending.

The purposes of this mixer were to:

  1. meet new faces
  2. build camaraderie
  3. share tips and resources on how to be successful college students
