Give to MATH and STATS
Support the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences
Your donation to the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Fund plays a vital role in strengthening our academic community. This fund supports a wide range of departmental priorities, including:
- Postdoctoral Fellowships, which drive innovative research and enrich our teaching and mentoring capacity
- Operational needs that enhance learning, support research and allow us to host events, seminars and collaborative initiatives
With your support, we can continue to foster excellence in mathematical and statistical research, provide meaningful opportunities for students and scholars and maintain the resources that keep our department thriving.
Every contribution makes a difference. Help us build a stronger future in the mathematical and statistical sciences.
mathematical & statistical sciences community outreach
At the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the 91³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø, our mission goes well beyond research and teaching within the walls of the university. We are committed to making mathematics and statistics accessible, engaging, and relevant to the broader community - locally, provincially, and beyond.
Our faculty, staff, and students actively engage in community outreach initiatives that inspire curiosity, foster learning, and build connections across diverse audiences. These efforts include:
- Math contests, which challenge and excite young minds across Alberta and beyond
- Summer camps and math clubs are designed to nurture a love of problem-solving in school-aged children
- Classroom visits, where our graduate students and faculty bring mathematics and statistics directly into schools, including those in Indigenous and rural communities, helping to build long-term relationships and support educational equity
- Collaborations with the private sector, offering statistical consulting and expertise to support data-driven decision-making and innovation across industries
Through these activities, we aim to demystify mathematics and statistics, cultivate the next generation of scientists and thinkers, and demonstrate the real-world relevance of our disciplines. This outward-facing work is a vital extension of our academic mission and a reflection of our department's values: education, collaboration and public engagement.
support graduate excellence: jm Mitchell graduate endowment
