EDGE: Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education

The EDGE program is designed to lower the attrition rate of women and minorities in graduate mathematics. Most participants attend EDGE in the summer before starting a graduate math program. The program offers four week courses in Algebra and Analysis, a mini-course in an advanced topic, and a number of talks on current research. I have been privilaged to participate in the EDGE program as both a student and as a graduate student mentor.

The Cornell Center for Teaching Excellence

The CTE is a resource at Cornell designed to assist educators at a variety of levels. I have participated in the workshop certification program, receiving certifications in Creating an Engaging Classroom and Enhancing Teaching with Technology. Currently, I am a member of the CTE Graduate Teaching Assistant Fellow program (formerly the Master TA program). The primary goal of the Graduate Fellows is to mentor less experienced TAs.
