Three Ph.D. and seven M.Math. C&O students will receive their degrees at the Spring 2021 convocation. This is the third time that the convocation ceremonies will be held on-line. Graduates, and their family and friends, will be invited to attend a Mathematics-faculty virtual event at 7:00 pm on June 18.
Congratulations to the students and their supervisors!
