Association of Women in Mathematics, Graduate Chapter

The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) encourages women and girls to study and pursue active careers in the mathematical sciences promoting equal opportunity and the equal treatment of women and girls in the mathematical sciences. The Illinois Graduate Student Chapter of the AWM provides a community for women graduate students through our social events and academic opportunities and to assist them in advancing in their careers through professional development. We also seek to expand the future community of women mathematicians through outreach to local students in grades K-12, as well as the home-schooled community. Our University of Illinois student chapter received the 2018 AWM Student Chapter Award for Community Outreach, awarded by the Association for Women in Mathematics in recognition of our outstanding engagement with the local community by highlighting women in mathematics and demonstrating the power and fascination of mathematics.
