COMP is a graduate student led program designed to foster community and inclusivity within the UCI Mathematics Department. COMP is an expansion of the Math Department Peer Mentoring Program, and was formed in response to the Black Lives Matter movement and concerns highlighted at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.Jesse Kreger and Kelly Isham founded COMP in Summer 2020. John Peca-Medlin was the inagural COMP Fellow (2020-2021) and Kat Dover is the COMP Fellow for the 2021-2022 academic year.The mission of COMP is to:
- support incoming students better, with a specific focus on students from diverse backgrounds,
- create a better sense of community among the graduate students in the Math Department,
- lead to better retention of students, and more success for graduate students in the Math Department, and
- connect math graduate students to important resources in the UCI community.
I am also proud to be a part of organizations that support STEM education, communication of STEM research, and encourage inclusion and representation in STEM fields:
