About Us

Our aim is to encourage and support women, girls, and otherwise underrepresented minorities to study mathematics and pursue related careers. Our goals and planned activities are: *recognizing and celebrating the socioeconomic, racial, gender, and sexual orientation differences among us through our communication and events in the math community *fostering community and building a network of women and allies among math fields and across undergrad/grad/postdocs/faculty *the professional development of our community; in particular, providing information about various careers in mathematics and funding options for travel to conferences, and hosting, promoting, and developing workshops and talks led by women. *coordinating outreach activities at local schools to expose students to the broad world of math, while concurrently facilitating training for AWM members on strategies for effective outreach.
