Please note that the registration fee is $20 per person from Nov. 16 to December 1, for both students and faculty. The fee is to be paid once registration is completed and by December 1, 2020.
We are pleased to announce that the 2021 conference will feature three distinguished plenary speakers:
1. Dr. Cecilia Aragon, University of Washington, Seattle: Director of the Human Centered Data Science Lab and Professor in the Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering
2. Dr. Ruth Haas, Association for Women in Mathematics: President, and University of Hawaii, Mānoa: Professor and Graduate Chair of Mathematics
3. Dr. Talitha Washington, Atlanta University Center Data Science Initiative: inaugural Director; Clark Atlanta University: Professor of Mathematics; and former Program Director: National Science Foundation (NSF)
Read their biographies.
Women, and particularly women of color, are underrepresented in the mathematical sciences, especially among jobs that require graduate education. We at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) recognize the need to encourage and mentor undergraduate women in mathematics to pursue graduate study in mathematics and to seek mathematical careers. We do this by annually hosting the NCUWM, made possible with generous support from the National Science Foundation, for undergraduates that provides role models, insider knowledge, opportunities to present undergraduate research, and a growing community of peers interested in issues related to creating a supportive environment for women in mathematics.
The University of Nebraska does not discriminate based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, age, genetic information, veteran status, marital status, and/or political affiliation in its programs, activities, or employment. The NCUWM is open to all undergraduate students age 19 or older and their faculty advisors.
