24th annual Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics
Students and faculty interested in virtually attending the 24th annual Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics (NCUWM) online January 21-23, 2022, must complete a registration online between October 11 and December 3, 2021. Students interested in presenting (a talk or a poster) at the 2022 conference must complete an application between October 11 and 25, 2021. Selection of presenters will be done according to the policies posted on our website: https://math.unl.edu/ncuwm
We are pleased to announce that the 2022 conference will feature three distinguished plenary speakers:
• Dr. Joan Ferrini-Mundy, University of Maine: President; Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation for the University of Maine System
• Dr. Pamela E. Harris, Williams College: Associate Professor in Department of Mathematics and Statistics; Cohost of podcast “Mathematically Uncensored”; Co-founder of Lathisms
• Dr. Talithia Williams, Harvey Mudd College: Associate Professor of Mathematics; Author of “Power in Numbers: The Rebel Women of Mathematics”
Read their biographies. Invited panelists and graduate students will be added to the website over the coming weeks.
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 and the National Security Agency, 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.
Please note that the registration fee is $20 per person between October 11 and October 25, and then increases to $30 per person from October 26 to December 3, for both students and faculty.
