The EDGE Summer Program is a four-week residential session that is designed to prepare a cohort of women and gender nonconforming individuals to thrive in their Ph.D. programs in the mathematical sciences.
The 2025 EDGE Summer Program will take place from June 1-28, 2025, at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Program activities include the following:
- Four core workshops in courses such as algebra, analysis, measure theory, and machine learning
- Daily collaborative problem sessions with advanced graduate student mentors
- Regular office hours and highly personalized feedback from facilitators
- Weekly colloquia on a variety of research topics
- Special discussions about equity and identity in mathematics, teaching practices, and other professional development skills.
The EDGE Foundation will cover all travel, room, and board expenses that relate to the Summer Program. Participants will also receive a modest stipend.
Program applicants should be women or gender nonconforming individuals who (i) are applying to Ph.D. programs in the mathematical sciences or (ii) have just completed their first year in a Ph.D. program in the mathematical sciences. Students from underrepresented minority groups are especially encouraged to apply.
