Between sessions drop by the academic fair to meet with students and professors and get individualized answers to your questions.

There will be booths for every program in the Faculty of Mathematics, as well as ones for admissions and scholarships, and for St. Jerome's University. You'll also be able to buy materials, such as the Euclid-prep guide called the Mathematics Resource Manual for High School Students and Undergraduate Studies (for $20.00), from The Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing's booth.

What kinds of jobs can you get with a Math (BMath) or Computer Science (BCS) degree? Will you ever use math in your job after graduation, and if so, how? Join us to learn from alumni who had interesting co-op jobs that lead to their current full-time employment in their field of study, and from Steve Furino, a CEMC math guru.

Led by Professor Steve Furino and International Admissions expert Andre Jardin.
