Spring Opportunities Workshop 2023
This NSF-funded workshop supported the participation of underrepresented groups in the mathematical sciences. Talks featured senior professionals about their experiences in academia, industry, and government, as well as current research by young mathematicians. The workshop provided a supportive environment for meeting peers and senior role models. It was particularly aimed at graduate students and young postdocs.
