Undergraduate Colloquium at Durham:
I have chaired the Undergraduate Colloquium committee 2007 – 2015, which entailed organizing two – three colloquia each term, intended to allow maths undergraduates at all levels to get a glimpse of “real math” and its applications (as well as what lecturers do when they’re not lecturing).
