AWM (Her)story:

Since its founding in 1971 by a small but passionate group of women mathematicians, the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) has grown into the leading national society for women in the mathematical sciences, and is one of the 16 societies comprising the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences. AWM's programs not only support those who participate in them directly, but also help influence the mathematics culture more generally, so that young women entering the field today encounter an environment that is more nurturing than that of the 1970s and 1980s. AWM has played a critical role in increasing the presence and visibility of women in the mathematical sciences. (https://awm-math.org)

CSU (Her)story:

The Colorado State University Student Chapter of the Association for Women in Math (AWM) is open to any student (undergraduate and graduate), post-doctorate, or professor at CSU, regardless of gender identity or expression, race, color, religion, age, national origin, sexual orientation, or disability. The chapter is organized and will be operated for educational and scientific purposes to promote the following:

a. an increased knowledge of and greater interest in the mathematical sciences, including pure and applied mathematics, statistics, education, and their applications;

b. a greater understanding of the contributions of womxn* (and other historically marginalized and/or underrepresented populations) in the mathematical sciences; and

c. mentoring and encouraging womxn and girls as they prepare for careers in the mathematical sciences.

Meetings will be informal and held virtually on Tuesdays from 5-6pm. For more information on our upcoming meetings, see our events page. If you are interested in coming, please come! Please contact colostateawm@gmail.com if you have any questions about this student chapter.

*We choose to use the term womxn to make clear that this organization is open to people of all gender identities who believe they would benefit from engaging in the CSU AWM community, especially transgender women and other individuals for whom woman and/or female do not fully describe their identities.
