Abstract: Bridge programs provide crucial academic and mentorship resources to help students transition smoothly into PhD programs. In this panel discussion, Creating Pathways to a Math PhD, leaders from various bridge programs will share the pivotal role these initiatives play in preparing students for graduate studies in mathematics. Program representatives will briefly share insights into their curricula, student outcomes, and support for underrepresented or nontraditional students. A moderated discussion will follow, exploring the broader impact of these programs on graduate education and how institutions can adopt similar initiatives to strengthen the pipeline to math PhDs. This session aims to raise awareness and foster collaboration among colleagues interested in supporting students' paths to doctoral studies.
