AWM Mentor Network

The goal of the new AWM Mentor Network is to match mentors with girls and women who are interested in mathematics and/or are pursuing careers in mathematics. The network is intended to link mentors with a variety of groups: recent Ph. D's, grad students, undergrads, high school and grade school students, and teachers. Matching is based on common interests in careers in academics or industry, math education, balance of career and family, or general mathematical interests.

Carleton College Summer Mathematics Program for Women

June 19 - July 17, 2011

This is an intensive four-week summer mathematics program for undergraduate women who have completer linear algebra but not more than one year of mathematics beyond linear algebra. The courses will be in two areas not normally covered in an undergraduate curriculum. The students will immerse themselves in mathematics, living and working in a supportive community of women scholars (undergraduates, graduates, and post-graduates) who are passionate about learning and doing mathematics. The program's intent is three-fold: to excite these young women about mathematics, to provide them with the tools they will need to succeed in higher-level mathematics, and to connect them with a network of fellow female mathematicians.

Carnegie Mellon Summer Undergraduate Applied Mathematics Institute

May 31 - July 19, 2011

Carnegie Mellon University will offer a summer program for twelve undergraduates considering research careers in mathematical sciences. Students who have finished their sophomore or junior years and who have strong academic records will be given preference. Among applicants who are otherwise comparable, admission to the program will be designed to create an ethnically diverse group of participants. Applications from women and minorities are especially encouraged. Students selected into the program will receive a stipend of $2,730, housing in university dormitories, and allowances for food and travel. They will spend seven weeks in Pittsburgh participating in a course in analysis, a computer laboratory, and working on projects under the direction of research faculty. Program participants will receive Carnegie Mellon credit. Faculty who are actively engaged in applied mathematics research and who have a particular interest in undergraduate education will provide the instruction. In order to be eligible, students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and must be continuing students in an undergraduate degree program; transcripts should be provided. The application deadline is March 1st of each year.

EDGE (Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education)

June 6 - July 1, 2011

The EDGE Program, funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Science Foundation, is designed to strengthen the ability of post-baccalaureate women and minority students to successfully complete graduate programs in the mathematical sciences. The summer program consists of two core courses in analysis and algebra/linear algebra. There will also be minicourses in vital areas of mathematical research in pure and applied mathematics, short-term visitors from academia and industry, guest lectures, graduate student mentors, and problem sessions. In addition, a follow-up mentoring program and support network will be established with the participants' respective graduate programs. EDGE 2011 will be held at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, Florida. Dr. Roselyn Willians is the local coordinators. Application Deadline: Monday, February 21, 2011

Connections for Women: An Introduction to Randon Matrices

Septetmber 20 - 21, 2010

One of the aims of this workshop is to present basic notions from random matrix theory, with a particular focus on providing background material so that all participants can interact successfully with more experienced and senior researchers involved in the program. Many of the senior participants are experts in one area of random matrix theory and have less familiarity with techniques and results from other related topics. We hope this workshop will broaden the knowledge of all participants so that they migth more fully interact with all aspects of the program. In conjunction with this we plan on organizing discussion sessions in which to explore open problems and directions of research which will emerge during the week-long workshop held the preceding week.

Connections for Women: Free Boundary Problems, Theory, and Applications

January 13-14, 2011

This workshop is part of the MSRI program "Free Boundary Problems, Theory and Applications." It is intended as a means of bringing together women working in areas related to Free Boundary Problems.

Connections for Women: Arithmetic Statistics

January 27 - 28, 2011

The format of this 2-day workshop will be colloquium-style presentations that will introduce some of the major topics touched on by the "Arithmetic Statistics" program. They will be pitched so as to be understandable to researchers with a variety of mathematical backgrounds. There will be three themes, designed broadly as a lead-in to the program's initial workshop (taking place the following week): the Sato-Tate conjecture; Random matrix theory and L-functions; and Enumeration of number fields. The purpose will be to provide background but also to present the exciting areas where progress is happening fast, where major problems have been solved, or where there are significant open questions that need to be tackled. With this we aim to provide motivation for the Connections participants to involve themselves with the remainder of the program.

Connections for Women: Quantitative Geometry

August 18 - 19, 2011

This workshop will provide an introduction to the program on Quantitative Geometry. There will be several short lecture series, given by speakers chosen for the accessibility of their lectures, designed to introduce non-specialists or students to some of the major themes of the program. At present we hope to have lectures on 3 of the following:

SummerMath at Mount Holyoke

Currently on hiatus

SummerMath is a nationally acclaimed four-week program for girls in the eighth through twelfth grades at Mount Holyoke College. The program has been featured on "ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings," on the "Today Show," and in Newsweek. The program coordinators believe young women stay with mathematics longer--and keep more options open--when feeling confident and when seeing how math applies to the real world. They add that math is in just about everything--from digital sampling to design to DNA.
