The Undergraduate Lounge (Cupples I, room 222) is for the exclusive use of math majors. It was made possible by a generous gift from the late Ross R. Middlemiss, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics.The room has chalkboards, tables, furniture, microwave, refrigerator, and a collection of mostly undergraduate level books available for use while working in the room. There is a computer and printer.

A wireless transmitter has been installed so majors can use tablets and laptops while in the Lounge. Students get the combination for the lock on the Lounge door when they declare the major. If you’ve lost the combination, you can get it again from one of the staff in the Math Office (Cupples I, Room 100), or from Dr. Blake Thornton.

The department usually needs undergraduates for grading and sometimes other jobs each semester. Interested students should contact Dr. Blake Thornton (Cupples I, Room 108A; 935-6301) for information about salary and to fill out an application. The best time to do this is near the end of the preceding semester.

Students who are interested in being leaders for PLTL Calculus Groups should contact Lisa Kuehne (935-4226) who coordinates the department's PLTL program. PLTL leaders are chosen in the spring for the following academic year. Applications are usually due just before Spring Break, with interviews in late March, and selection in April.
