Academic travel is an important piece in the life of a mathematician. It is how we stay current on research trends, share our own ideas and results with others, find new collaborators to work with, and maintain relationships with fellow mathematicians world wide. For graduate students, this is a vital opportunity to meet other graduate students in your specialty, who will become your future peers, as well as researchers at other institutions, who will be able to write you recommendation letters when you apply for jobs.
The Professional Development Session will consist of a panel of (2nd -- 6th year) graduate students and professors. We will share our experiences traveling outside UW, and explain how to get funding to go to conferences, summer schools and visiting quarters at other institutions. There will be ample opportunity for Q&A.
**PIZZA** will be provided for everyone in attendance.
ALL graduate students in the math department are welcome to attend, whether you are currently barraged with weekly homework (1st year) or have forgotten what a homework assignment looks like (4th year +).
