Mathematics Graduate Students Association

The graduate students at Berkeley run two general knowledge seminars.

Many Cheerful Facts

Many Cheerful Facts was created to provide a non-threatening environment for graduate students to practice giving talks. The seminar meets weekly and snacks are provided by a different graduate student each week. Contact information for this year's organizers and more information can be found here.

Mentor Lecture Series

The Mentor Lecture Series is designed for first and second year graduate students. The series aims to acquaint beginning graduate students with potential dissertation supervisors whom they might not otherwise closely encounter, and to impart a taste of research activity in the mathematics department in order to help beginning students choose fields of specialization.
