Student Four years post-program Survey

We are compiling a list of all past participants (students, TAs, faculty) to send to everyone. Do we have your permission to include your email address and phone number on the list?    ___YES    ___NO

Also, the program now has a web page at http://www.stat.berkeley.edu/~sims where you can find out more about the program. If you would like a link between this page and yours, please let us know, and give us the address of your site.

Student Survey for The Mills Summer Mathematics Institute

  1. Please tell us about any graduate degree you are currently working toward. (field, school, year of entry, year degree expected, type of support)

  2. If you are not currently in school, please tell us what are you doing, and whether you plan to attend graduate school in the future.

    If you have not attended graduate school then skip to question 8.

  3. What form of financial support do/did you have?

  4. Is there anything particular about your performance that you would like to mention (e.g. awards, fellowships, papers, teaching, other math activities)?

  5. To what extent, if any, did the program affect your

  6. Compared to your undergraduate female peers who did not participate in this program, what advantages, if any, do you think you got from the program?

  7. To help in our evaluation, if you are currently in graduate school, we would like to have your permission to ask your advisor (or other professor who knows your work) the following questions: (See Graduate Advisor Survey)

    Do we have your permission to contact your professor? Yes___ No___ If yes, please give us your professor's name, email address, and phone number.
