Hi Graduate and Undergraduate Students, Please read below and respond via email to mu@math.toronto.edu if you are interested in volunteering this Thursday, October 7 for a 2-hour period between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. The Fields Institute and the Department of Mathematics are looking for volunteers to assist in hosting a group of about 90 enriched mathematics students from a local high school. We will give them an introduction to the Fields Institute and student life at the University of Toronto. Professor Colliander will give a special lecture to the students. This is a great chance for students, both high school and undergraduate, to interact and explore both the Fields Institute and the Math Department. We will have a scavenger hunt in which they will explore the department and the institute. This opportunity will contribute to the future of the community both at the Fields and at our University. Your time will be acknowledged as a volunteer opportunity which would be useful for either your CV or resume.
