Introduction: The Integration Workshop is an intensive five-day workshop aimed at developing cohort relationships with incoming students, meeting faculty and advanced graduate students, and introducing students to approaching mathematics from a graduate perspective. It is expected that you participate in group work and group activities toward mathematics materials and projects. We ask that you come to this session with intellectual humility, respect, and willingness to learn from and listen to one another.
Welcome Statement 1: The University of Arizona Programs in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics embrace diversity of age, background, beliefs, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, and other visible and nonvisible categories. We welcome all students to this workshop and expect that all students contribute to a respectful, welcoming, and inclusive environment. We will not tolerate discrimination, bias, or an unwelcoming environment. Please come to Dr. Glickenstein, Dr. Xue, Dr. Adiredja, or other faculty if you feel unwelcome.
