Building Bridges to STEM Careers
by meep
I talk about BEAM (Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics), an educational non-profit currently based in NYC and LA focused on providing a program to help underserved students enter advanced study in mathematics. I have a personal connection to the founder Dan Zaharapol through Canada/USA Mathcamp, back when he was a student and I was staff. BEAM has a 10-year strategic growth plan and is also seeking people for two key roles.

December 2001: I’d Rather Go to Mathcamp by Brenda Fine in FOCUS Magazine
Yale Professor Serge Lang declared Mathcamp to be “the largest concentration of intelligence and math freaks” he had ever seen — and that’s in some five decades of work in the field.
