Welcome to the Professional Development Seminar at the Department of Mathematics, UF!
We hope to build a platform for imparting awareness to the graduate students of the Department of Mathematics about the opportunities available post-graduation in different fields of mathematics and also the skills, tools, and knowledge required to tackle the job market via a series of seminars. Please contact Dr. Chamila Gamage if you are interested in giving a talk. Resources for current students may be found here.
The seminars will be held in Little Hall Room 225.
