Historically, the UIC AWM chapter has provided a place to enhance the
participation of women
in mathematics, by way of social events, info sessions on how to navigate
graduate school and the life beyond, and mentoring activities for
undergraduate women at UIC. This is a group open to the participation
of all persons in our Department who would like to work on these
projects. Here at UIC we have a rich and storied connection with AWM. A recent
article
co-authored by our own Professor Srinivasan details some of
this history.
Cookies and tea will be provided.
