OVERVIEW

PROGRAM

An integral part of SIMUW is the participation of six Teaching Assistant/Counselors (TACs). These TACs will work with the high school students in the classroom and join them in social activities. The TACs also meet separately with the instructors and work themselves on mathematics related to the material in which the students are engaged. TACs will live in UW residence halls with the students and work full time for SIMUW. In particular, TACs should not anticipate registering for Summer Quarter course work.

Each applicant who is chosen to serve as a TAC will be paid a stipend of $3000 for the six weeks. In addition, each participant will have single room and board provided on campus.

If you are interested in being a SIMUW TAC, please fill out a TAC application form and follow the additional instructions you will find on the form. You can download the form or write to simuw@math.washington.edu to request that a copy be sent to you.

Applications received by March 1, 2008 will be given priority, but late applications will be considered on a space available basis. It is expected that decisions will be made soon after March 1st. If you are planning to apply, but are likely to miss the target date, please send a message to simuw@math.washington.edu indicating your intention to apply in order to ensure proper consideration.

We have filled all TAC positions for SIMUW 2008.
