Want to give us FeedBack? What works? What doesn't? Have a concern?

• We very much appreciate any feedback you may have, so we can be more supportive and helpful in these weird times! To do that, you can:
  1. talk to any of the tutors in Malott 256 or in the Zoom meeting
  2. email Cissy (yh383) or Reiley (rjd274) or Dick (ref2)
  3. YHRJD Anonymous feedback Form
• If you have any concerns, especially on circumstances that may prevent you from getting the help you need, please make sure to email Cissy (yh383) or Reiley (rjd274) or Dick (ref2) about it (else, it'll be harder for us to get back to you and figure something out!)

[ MSC Stories ] Overview

Favorite Mathematicians

Contribute to our list of Favorite Mathematicians! Famous or obscure, some are largely unknown because they were women, engineers, surveyors or some combination of less recognized groups. Check out the list. You can add to the list if you have a Cornell login. In most cases, the name in the list corresponds to the primary Wikipedia page for that person so you can readily learn more. We draw from this list to name Breakout Rooms in the MSC Zoom Meeting.
