Washington
Directed Reading Program <https://sites.uw.edu/wdrp/> are now open! Thank
you to everyone who has advertised to undergraduate students so far. If you
would please send the information at the end of this message, or the link

benefit from this program, we would very much appreciate that. Please note
that we encourage applications from students of all mathematical / personal
backgrounds and identities, and we have projects for students with various
levels of experience - the main requirement is for participants *to have
and show excitement and interest for mathematics.*

Dear student interested in mathematics,

The *Washington Directed Reading Program (WDRP)* is an initiative from the
Mathematics Department which launched in Fall 2018. The WDRP is modeled
after successful Directed Reading Programs (DRPs) at other universities
around the country. This program pairs interested undergraduate students
with graduate student mentors to embark on a quarter-long independent
mathematics reading project. We expect to have around 13 projects in Spring
2022. Applications will be open until *March 18th at 5:00 pm PDT*, and
applicants will be notified by March 28th at the latest. To learn more
about upcoming reading projects and apply, go to sites.uw.edu/wdrp/
applications.

The main components of the program are:

   - *Start-of-quarter kickoff event*, including an introduction to the
   program and time to mingle with other undergraduate and graduate students
   - *One-on-one weekly meetings* between undergraduate student mentees and
   graduate student mentors to discuss weekly readings
   - *Mid-quarter social event* for undergraduates only
   - *End-of-quarter presentations* by undergraduate students on topics
   selected from their readings

In addition, *1 credit (CR/NC)* for Math 398 is available to undergraduate
students participating in and successfully completing the program. Note
that you will not be able to sign up for this credit until after you have
applied for and been accepted into the program, at which time we will
provide further information about enrolling.

For more information and some sample projects, please see our website
sites.uw.edu/wdrp. Feel free to ask any other questions by sending an email
to wdrp at uw.edu.

Best wishes,
The WDRP Organizers
Albert Artiles, Juan Salinas, and Josh Southerland
