Hello Math Majors,

Welcome to the Fall 2018 semester! For the new students joining us this fall, welcome to the University of Nebraska, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the Department of Mathematics! For the returning students, I hope you had a good, productive, and enjoyable summer and are ready to take on another semester!

The Fall 2018 semester is a new beginning for me as I became your assigned advisor when I moved to the Department of Mathematics from the College of Arts and Sciences Academic and Career Advising Center back in mid-April. As your assigned advisor, I care about your success at the University of Nebraska academically, professionally, and personally, so if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me, schedule an appointment with me, or visit me during my walk-in hours. I am located in 209 Avery Hall within the Math Department office, and I can be reached at dpellatz@unl.edu or 402-472-4319.

You also have an excellent resource in Dr. Petronela Radu, your Mathematics Faculty Advisor. Dr. Radu advises in 211 Avery Hall, and she can be reached at pradu@unl.edu or 402-472-0527. Dr. Radu will be your expert in all things Mathematics. Dr. Radu and I will work together to make that your advising needs are met.

You will also receive information about Math Department opportunities from Dr. Alexandra Seceleanu (aseceleanu@unl.edu) who is the Math Club and Pi Mu Epsilon Advisor. For more information about the Math Club and Pi Mu Epsilon, please visit the Math Club website at http://www.math.unl.edu/math-club.

Best wishes for the Fall 2018 semester,
