UCR's Grad Slam Final Competition
Grad Slam is a UC-wide public speaking competition and professional development opportunity in which graduate students describe their research or creative project in three minutes, with a maximum of one PowerPoint slide, to a non-specialist audience. Participating students are supported through public speaking workshops and feedback sessions, and progress through several preliminary and semi-final rounds. Contestants have the opportunity to win up to $5,000 at the UCR level and another $7,000 at the UC-wide level of competition.
Many congratulations to Angeliz Vargas Casillas for winning 3rd place with with her research talk "When Math Meets Your Skin: A Multiscale Model of Keloid Scar Expansion" at the UC Grad Slam Finals!

Mathematical Pathways to an Excellent Future 2025
March 11th, 2025 @ UCR
A one-day event featuring:
- A diverse set of expository mathematics lectures that cover a wide range of topics within mathematics and which may be suitable for non-expert attendees.
- A panel discussion on building a future with mathematics. Here, the speakers will talk about their paths within mathematics and answer questions from the audience.
- Posters from graduate and undergraduate students. Two prizes will be awarded for the best undergraduate posters and two for the best graduate student posters. A panel of judges will select first and second-place winners, who will receive awards of $300 and $200, respectively.
- A one-page essay competition focused on your journey in mathematics. This competition offers attendees a chance to discuss their experiences and interests in mathematics, including any challenges or successes they have faced. A panel will evaluate essays, with a $300 award for the best essay from an undergraduate student and the best from a graduate student. The panel of judges will determine the winners.

Title & Abstract
NIH/NCI T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship - Jennifer Rangel Ambriz
Many congratulations to Jennifer Rangel Ambriz for receiving a prestigious NIH/NCI T32 Postdoctoral Fellowship. Jennifer, a former UCR Math student advised by Mark Alber, is currently a Postdoctoral Associate at City of Hope. Among her recent publications is the following paper, of which Jennifer is the co-first author:
More information of the paper can also be found in UCR press.
Microtutorials
The Microtutorials in Mathematics project team at UCR has conceived a new approach to producing a collection of micro-tutorials as supplementary instructional and learning materials. The intent is to assist the students and instructors to connect calculus with applications in various subject matters. The students could use them freely on any topics of their choice. The videos are produced with follow-up questions to enable instructors to flip their classrooms if desired. For details, please visit its website: https://microtutorials.ucr.edu
Math Alliance: Providing educational success to underrepresented and first-generation students is an important part of UCR's mission.
"Our goal is simple: we want to be sure that every underrepresented or under-served American student with the talent and the ambition has the opportunity to earn a doctoral degree in a mathematical or statistical science."
If you are interested in becoming a Math Alliance Scholar, please feel free to contact Dr. Matthew Durham. The benefits include access to Math Alliances Facilitated Graduate Applications Process and possible funding to go the the Alliance's Field of Dreams conference.
