This is an expression of intent to mentor for the OSU Cycle program for the Autumn 2026 and Spring 2027 semesters. The Cycle program aims to foster a positive environment in the mathematics department. Cycle is a one hour per week (5:20-6:15 PM Tuesdays in-person, asynchronous options available) course which provides students with a gateway to research in mathematics. The (one-day) conference at OSU is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of April 17/18, 2027.

Filling out this form means that you intend to have a "booth" at the research fair September 1, 2026 from 4:30-6:30 PM. If you can only attend part of the fair or if you cannot attend but still wish to participate, let us know ASAP. The fair is where you will meet potential mentees to find students who will be a good fit for you and your project. Details will follow via email.

Deadline: August 28, 2026.
