Association of Women in Mathematics, Graduate Chapter
The Illinois Graduate Student Chapter of the AWM provides a community for women graduate students through our activities and to assist them in advancing in their careers through professional development opportunities. 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.
In 2023, the AWM graduate chapter launched a summer workshop for women and gender minorities in their first or second years of the PhD program.
Membership in AWM is open to all, regardless of gender identity or expression, race, color, religion, age, national origin, sexual orientation, or disability. Joining our mailing list is the best way to keep apprised of our chapter activities!
