The University of Kentucky Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences announces the appointment of Associate Professor Kate Ponto to the Wimberly and Betty Royster Research Professorship and Professor Richard Ehrenborg to the Ralph E. and Norma L. Edwards Research Professorship.
The Department of Statistics celebrated their 50th-year reunion! The department was founded in 1967. Recently, the Department has awarded an average of 14 Master's and 3 Ph.D. degrees per year from 9/2010 to 8/2015. Alumni with Master's and Ph.D. degrees have had very successful careers in academia and industry.
This event will provide space for diverse student organizations to share information with the campus community about upcoming events and ways to get involved at UK. The event will also feature student performances from around the globe. Finally, the Cultural Market will highlight international foods from local restaurants in Lexington.
Please join us for a workshop led by Ashley Sorrell from CELT. As a graduate teaching assistant, you have mastered a number of dynamic skills that have made you an effective classroom instructor. But what you may not realize is that the same skills you have cultivated as a teaching assistant are transferrable to careers outside of academia. In this interactive workshop, we will identify specific transferable skills you have developed as a teaching assistant and discuss how you can best market these skills for post-academic careers.
Lunch will be provided by The Graduate School’s Office of Professional Development. Please RSVP with Catherine Brereton (cabr223@uky.edu).
