Faculty Mentors
Each semester it is essential that graduate students meet with a professor to ensure that they are making the best possible academic decisions. During the first semester of enrollment, all potential PhD students are assigned a Faculty Mentor in their major area who will advise them until a thesis advisor is selected. The table below links these students to their assigned faculty mentor. Send an email to dgs@math.uic.edu if you are a potential PhD student and do not find your name linked with a faculty mentor on this list.
Graduate students not seeking a PhD are assigned advisors as follows:
- Nondegree graduate students: contact the Director of Graduate Studies, 341 SEO
- MST (Elementary Option): contact Dan Miltner, 321 SEO
- MST (Secondary Option): advisors are assigned according to the first letter of the student's last name:
A - J: contact Mary Anderson, 323 SEO
K - O: contact Regeta Slaughter, 319 SEO
P - Z: contact Dan Miltner, 321 SEO
Faculty Mentors are encouraged to review the Faculty Mentoring Guide to assist them throughout this process.
