UCPD alert: scam targeting students

Please see the UCPD crime alert below regarding a scam that has unfortunately affected several of our students this week. An unknown suspect has been targeting our UCLA students and staff by calling them on their personal cell phones, claiming they are UCPD, and stating they have an outstanding warrant for their arrest. The suspect(s) have demanded money in exchange for the warrant and have requested it via various different platforms. Unfortunately, many students have sent thousands of dollars via money transfer to suspects who are outside the country. The suspects have been “spoofing” our department phone number (310) 825-1491 and staying they are Chief Tony Lee when they call.

Additionally, we have learned that all of the victims who have been targeted this week have their names and phone numbers on the UCLA directory. They have been advised to have their information taken down.

Directed Reading Program

Directed Reading Program:

DRP pairs undergraduate students with graduate students for quarter-long independent study projects in mathematics.  Projects culminate in a brief presentation given by the undergraduates in a DRP colloquium. DRP will run a bit differently this year due to COVD:

1. DRP meetings will run remotely this quarter.

2. Participants will need a webcam and mic for their meetings.

3. There is some leeway for minor reimbursements for learning materials and hardware; the DRP should not be a financial burden for anyone.

Please click here for the application – https://ccle.ucla.edu/course/view/mathprogs?section=4.

Application deadline: October 9, 2020 at 4:00 pm

Pairing announcement: October 12, 2020

If you have any questions, please direct your inquiries to the DRP team – drp@math.ucla.edu
