University of Greenwich sign up over 100 IMA e-Students

Erica Tyson (IMA University Liaison Officer) visited the University of Greenwich today to speak to maths students about the benefits of joining the IMA. This visit was part of a project funded by an HEA Teaching Development Grant aimed at enhancing students' employability skills. Project leader, Dr Nadarajah Ramesh said "engagement with professional bodies such as the IMA is very important for today's maths students".

Erica also spoke to the students about maths careers and how to apply for graduate jobs. She mentioned the Maths Careers website as being an excellent place to find out more information.

After Erica's talks to both first and second year students, over 100 University of Greenwich maths students signed up to join the IMA e-Student community. Noel-Ann Bradshaw, principal lecturer and IMA member, said that she thought the e-Student scheme was an excellent idea and hoped that many of their students would attend IMA events and go on to take up full membership in the future.

For more information about the role of the University Liaison Officer and the e-student scheme look on the student IMA webpage.
