• Homework Graders - These students grade homework sets.
• Problem Session Holders - These students hold problem sessions in which they help students in the class understand mathematical concepts. They answer specific questions from the homework sets.

• Mathematica Lab Assistants - These students supervise lab hours in Park 246 that are targeted toward specific classes. They are available for questions relevant to the program used in the lab assignments for a specific class. They also grade lab assignments.
• SPSS Lab Assistants - These students supervise lab hours in Canaday. They are available for questions relevant to the program used in the lab assignments for a specific class. They also grade lab assignments.
• Open Lab Hours Supervisors - These students supervise lab hours in Park 246 that are not geared towards any one class. In general, they are not meant to answer specific questions about lab assignments.

A great way to start on a career path is to do a mathematically related (paid!) summer internship. Here are some examples of student experiences from recent summers:

• Xinyuan Dong ’15: Research in Department of Biostatistics, University of Washington, Seattle. Y-Chromosome Analysis.
• Maddie Hanson-Colvin ’16:  Lyman Briggs REU, Michigan State University, East Lansing. Cops and Robbers on Graphs.
• Madeleine Johnson ’15: REU Program in Mathematics, California State University, San Bernardino. Three-Variable Bracket Polynomial for Three Braid Knots and Links.
• Rose Kaplan-Kelly ’17: Summer Mathematics Program for Women, Carleton College, Northfield, Minn. Lie Theory and Low Dimensional Topology
• Rachel Terry '18: Summer Institute for Training in Biostatistics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh. Analyzing Duke Clinical Research Institute Data.

These students are senior mathematics majors who help organize the primary social events during the school year. The Major Reps also serve as liaisons between faculty and students. Majors who have ideas for activities in the department should feel free to contact the Major Reps.

These students are junior mathematics majors who assist the Senior Major Reps in the duties listed above and often continue in the senior year to be Senior Major Reps.

This student (or students) organizes the meetings of the Distressing Math Collective, a group started in 1997 by students wanting to discuss mathematical paradoxes and other mathematical topics not usually covered in math courses. In recent years, meetings have consisted of a math talk given by a volunteer, followed by math-oriented game-playing and snacks. The DMC attracts a mix of undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, alumnae, and friends.
