We want to highlight the outreach work that co-PI Hans Christianson has been doing through the Correctional Education Program. This past summer, Hans spent two nights a week teaching Math 118 at the Dan River Work Farm in Yanceyville. Hans reports the work to be quite rewarding, and we are proud of his efforts.

Girls Talk Math
It was a pleasure to welcome the Girls Talk Math program back to campus this past summer. The RTG is proud to support this free educational summer program that strives to make advanced mathematics accessible to students of underrepresented genders in STEM. Its founders, Katrina Morgan and Francesca Bernardi, are former UNC graduate students. GTM has expanded to sites at the University of Maryland and at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in addition to the original location at UNC. The Association for Women in Mathematics recently highlighted this story regarding the work at WPI.
Conference Opportunities
As we welcome back graduate student Maddie Brown from giving talks at
