The Department of Mathematical Sciences welcomed a group of students from University High School on April 25, 2025, for their University-wide Scavenger Hunt. The students enjoyed working together to solve the handshake problem, leading them to Room 351, where they found their next clue. Pictured below are the students that visited Dunn Hall along with Department Representatives Alpha Ba and Scotty Houston.
