"Meet the Mathematicians" online career speed dating event was held on Friday, June 28. Main goal was to connect mathematics students with companies that employ mathematicans. 26 companies and 35 students attended the event.

Short introduction videos presented by employers who participated in the event (each company presented work that their mathematicians do and presented it's need for future employment of mathematicians) can be viewed here. Videos will be available to the end of June and all students can access them.

Both students and employers took evaulation questionnaire so we could get feedback and input on the event. Some results will be presented as graphics.

Students were rating (in grades 1 - 5): quality (effectiveness) of video introductions, selection of companies, affability and quality of information presented. Ratings are shown in the graphics below.

On the other hand, employers were rating (in grades 1 - 5) the event in categories: preparation and visibility, organization of short video introductions, organization of speed dating, moderators. Total grades are shown in the graphics below.

We thank all participants for good review and constructive criticism and thank you for participating. We are looking forward to next year's Meet and hope to see even more participants!
