The 23nd Biennial Alumni Seminar

In every even-numbered year since 1964, alums of the Department of Mathematics return to the University of Dayton to gather together and meet with students interested in mathematics. The alums enjoy the opportunity to inform students about the professions they are in and how their studies in mathematics relate to their careers.  The students have the opportunity to understand the breadth of career opportunities for someone trained in the mathematical sciences and have the opportunity to begin making connections with professionals in the various fields.

This year the Seminar will consist of a panel session followed by break-out sessions.  During the panel session, professionals representing various careers will be introduced.  These professionals will in turn give a brief introduction to specific careers.  Break-out sessions will then follow the panel session.  In the break-out session, students can meet with the professionals more informally and learn more. 

Break-out sessions will be held for:

Dr. Chad R. Bhatti (01), JP Morgan Chase – Consumer Risk Modeling and Analytics
