About . A Directed Reading Program is a one-on-one mathematics mentoring program in which graduate students mentor undergrads in term-time or summer reading projects.

Established in 2003. Initiated at the University of Chicago by two graduate students, DRPs now run at 17 institutions across the country -- most founded through grassroots efforts of DRP alumni. Together, these DRPs constitute the DRP Network .

Why DRPs ? As well as the obvious benefit to undergrads from one-on-one attention, we believe that DRPs can have a major impact on broadening participation in math by fostering individuals' increased self-identity as a mathematician while providing a credential for acceding to higher levels in math. This applies to the mentors as much as the mentees. ​
