AMA/MA Graduate Admission
The committee reviews and ranks incoming applications to the AMA/MA graduate programs. Committee members also advise the Director of Graduate Programs on potential recipients of internally funded fellowships for incoming students. Committee members are expected to electronically review and evaluate AMA and MA graduate program applications in a timely manner.

AMA/MA Graduate Program Advisory
The committee advises the Director of Graduate Programs (DGP) and the Assistant Director of Graduate Programs (ADGP) on the strategic planning, recruitment, retention, program curriculum, outcomes, and graduate student awards. In addition, the GPAC will play a central role in organizing and running the Graduate Student Training Seminar.

AMA/MA Graduate Recruitment
The members of the committee engage in graduate recruiting events and must commit to attending some of the recruiting events organized by the Department, such as the Virtual Open House in the Fall, the in-person recruitment weekend in February, and the virtual visit day in late March/early April. Members should also be available for in-person or virtual meetings with prospective students throughout the year.

Award Nomination
Makes recommendations for nominations to the Department Head for college and university awards for faculty and staff.

Computing and IT Liaisons
Advise the Head and Associate Head on all matters related to computing and serve as liaisons between the department and the college and university IT.

Faculty, Staff, and Student Excellence
This committee works to foster success and build community among all members of the department. Some activities include organizing the SUM Series talks for undergraduate students,  faculty/staff and faculty/student lunches, and the annual departmental picnic.

Financial Mathematics
The committee helps the Financial Mathematics Program director with student recruitment, curriculum development and review, program assessment and industry outreach.

Honors
Honors Committee members are responsible for advising undergraduates who have been invited into the Mathematics Honors Program. The committee also decides program requirements and policies and ensures that they meet NC State guidelines for departmental and college
honors programs.

International Programs
The committee pertains to international collaborations in mathematical sciences. It also works on international agreements and the international visibility and reputation of the department.

Library Liaison
Serves as the liaison between the Department and University Libraries by conveying needs or concerns of Mathematics faculty to the staff of University Libraries and relaying information about development and services of the Libraries back to the Department.

Mathematics Distinguished Lecture Series
Organizes the annual Kwangil Koh Lecture on Mathematics in Our Time. Selects colloquium speakers from nominations by the faculty.

Outreach
The committee supports the department’s efforts to promote mathematics beyond the university classroom and to strengthen connections with schools, students, educators, and the broader community.

Program Assessment
Collects and reviews data with the goal of improving the graduate and undergraduate programs. By engaging in an ongoing assessment of the Department’s student learning outcomes, the committee is able to suggest evidence-based improvements to courses and to the program as a whole. The committee generates the Annual Assessment Report for the Graduate and Undergraduate Programs in Math.

Publicity, Communication, and Alumni Relations
The committee creates and maintains department-wide newsletters, social media and web presence, along with developing other methods of department/alumni engagement.

Qualifying Exam
Members are the main instructors of qualifying exam courses. Duties are to

1. write the qualifying exam for their course
2. seek feedback on the exam from previous instructors
3. serve as lead grader and identify a second grader; if none can be found, one will be designated by the DGP
4. proctor the exam, make copies and share with the second grader for independent grading, finalize the results with the second grader
5. report the agreed upon grades (pass/fail) for each student; the DGP should be made aware of possible disagreements; if the disagreement might result in a student failing out of the program, the case will be reviewed by the qualifying exam committee, otherwise, the grade from the lead grader is forwarded
6. answer questions from students about their own exam(s) after they receive their results.

TA Training
The committee members actively participate in the TA Training Courses designed to train the graduate students on teaching and mathematical communication. Moreover, committee members engage in various TA training activities including orientations, possible TA observations and other related activities.

Technology and Digital Resources
The committee advises the department on the effective use of technology and digital resources in teaching, research, and departmental operations. The committee assists faculty, staff, and students in adopting and using appropriate technologies and in complying with current and emerging policies and guidance.

Undergraduate Advising
The advising committee members are responsible for advising all math undergraduates. The faculty advisors are expected to conduct advising appointments with each advisee at least once a semester, and to communicate promptly with students, responding to questions and requests throughout the semester. In addition, the math advisors together with the DUP will identify and implement strategies, processes, and practices to enhance advising service delivery, as well as create and maintain a resource webpage with advising content.

Undergraduate Course and Curriculum
In consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Programs in Mathematics, the committee advises the Department Head on matters related to undergraduate mathematics course and curriculum proposals; develops guidelines and conducts periodic reviews of undergraduate math courses; in consultation with the Department Head, develops policies and procedures related to the undergraduate math curriculum.

Undergraduate Math Competitions
The committee identifies appropriate math competitions for undergraduates (e.g. Virginia Tech Contest, Putnam Competition, the Mathematical Contest in Modeling, the Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling etc.), advertises, and recruits interested students. The committee members mentor/train students, give lectures to the Putnam class (MA 444) on common problem-solving techniques. Finally, the committee organized informal discussions about math competitions with potentially interested students.

Undergraduate Recruitment
The members of the committee engage in undergraduate recruiting events and must commit to attend some of the recruiting events organized by the Department or the College of Sciences such as Open House in the Fall, the Visitation Day in the Spring, and the New Student Orientation during the Summer.

Undergraduate Student Awards
The committee identifies mathematics undergraduates who qualify for the departmental scholarships and senior awards, and selects the awardees.
