The professional development component can include activities such as assisting
a faculty member with an undergraduate research project, high school visits or
weekend workshops, organizing a graduate student seminar, mentoring junior
graduate students for the qualifying exams, or helping with a research tutorial
group.  When you mention an activity in the professional development plan, make
sure to contact any faculty members involved in the activity and get their
feedback.  What will you do?  What will your responsibilities be?  How will you
organize this activity (regular meeting, student supervision, x visits in high
schools, and so on)?  Try to be specific.  If you need ideas for activities,
talk to your program head.
