The <b class="ContentPasted0">Washington Directed Reading Program (<span style="border:0px none;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">WDRP</span>)</b> is an initiative from the Mathematics Department which launched in Fall 2018. The <span style="border:0px none;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">WDRP</span> 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 11 projects in Winter 2023. <span style="border:0px none;margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">Application</span>s will be open until <b class="ContentPasted0">December 28th at 5:00 pm PDT</b>, and applicants will be notified by January 6th at
the latest.
