The Purdue University VIGRE Program has the goal of diversifying and broadening the educational preparation of undergraduates, graduates and postdoctoral students in the mathematical sciences. It will simultaneously integrate research and educational activities while promoting involvement with industry and K-12 education. The program is a cooperative effort by the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Statistics whose highly ranked research programs offer a broad range of diverse assets that are mutually beneficial to all. The VIGRE participants are organized in research groups that allow introduction and in depth exploration of specific research areas. Each will include an interdisciplinary aspect involving faculty outside the mathematical sciences. These groups will include undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty. High school faculty and/or middle school faculty will participate in summer activities of the groups. The group will provide a ladder of mentoring among the participants with each individual responsible for mentoring those less experienced than herself or himself.These same groups will provide expository lectures to members of other groups to broaden their exposure to a variety of areas.The expository lectures of the research groups will be part of a series of seminars at several levels to introduce undergraduates and graduate students and postdocs to the breadth of research areas in the departments. In addition, a seminar series in teaching and communicating the mathematical sciences will be a part of the program. The long tradition of research consulting experiences for graduate students in statistics will be expanded to mathematics. Significant teaching experiences for both postdoctoral fellows and graduate students are a key part of the program. They are meant to provide a meaningful exposure to classroom teaching that does not overemphasize this aspect of the typical experience at a large state university. A project management team will monitor and report on the activities and success of the program.This program is being jointly funded by the Division of Mathematical Sciences and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities from the Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

普渡大学的Vigre计划的目标是多元化和扩大数学科学中本科生，毕业生和博士后学生的教育准备。它将同时整合研究和教育活动，同时促进对行业和K-12教育的参与。该计划是数学系和统计局的合作努力，其排名较高的研究计划提供了广泛的不同资产，这些资产对所有人互惠互利。 Vigre参与者在研究小组中组织，允许引入并深入探索特定研究领域。 每个都将包括涉及数学科学以外教师的跨学科方面。这些小组将包括本科生，研究生，博士后研究员和教师。高中教师和/或中学教师将参加这些小组的夏季活动。 该小组将在参与者中提供指导的阶梯，每个人负责指导那些比她或他本人少的人。这些小组将向其他小组成员提供启示性讲座，以扩大他们在各个领域的暴露范围。研究小组的说明性讲座将是多个级别的研讨会的一部分，以介绍一系列的研讨会，以介绍不足的学生和毕业生和毕业生的研究。此外，在教学和交流数学科学方面的研讨会系列将成为该计划的一部分。统计研究生研究咨询经验的悠久传统将扩展到数学。 博士后研究员和研究生的重要教学经验是该计划的关键部分。它们旨在提供有意义的课堂教学，这并不能过分强调大型州立大学的典型经历的这一方面。项目管理团队将监视和报告该计划的活动和成功。该计划由数学科学部和数学和物理科学局的多学科活动办公室共同资助。
