During fall 2020: We held a few speed-dating social events for women in mathematics in addition to weekly teas.
In the 2019-2020 academic year: We held biweekly lunch discussions on topics such as mentorship, work-life-balance, and families. We hosted a woman-to-woman mixer and a tea during the graduate open house. We also held workshops on "How to be a good ally" and inclusive teaching (featuring guests from the Engaged Teaching Hub.)
Mentorship:
As a small group, we currently cannot pair undergraduate women with a specific mentor, but we hope to answer questions through panels, specific information is below.
Upcoming:
Stay tuned for more information!
Past:
During fall 2020: we had a panel on the process of applying to graduate school.
In the 2019-2020 Academic Year: we had a general panel of graduate student women and a social for undergraduates.
Who we are:
The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) is a professional society whose mission is to encourage women and girls to study and have active careers in the mathematical sciences and to promote equal opportunity for and the equal treatment of women and girls in mathematics.
UCSD's chapter of AWM was re-established, after a four-year period of inactivity, by mathematics graduate students in September 2019 to promote diversity in mathematics at UCSD.
We hope to:
- Foster a sense of community among graduate students and others in the department.
- Mentor undergraduate math majors, especially women.
- Attract more diverse candidates to our graduate programs.
- Encourage participation in research activities such as seminars and conferences.
Membership in the AWM at UCSD is open to all UCSD students, regardless of gender, race, color, religion, age, national origin, or sexual orientation.
