This is a second announcement of the Southeastern Conference for
Undergraduate Women in Math. Please encourage women in math at your
university to join!
Duke University will host the fourth annual Southeastern Conference for
Undergraduate Women in Mathematics on November 12th and 13th. This
conference is open to undergraduate women in all stages of their
studies. Conference activities will begin on Saturday morning on Duke’s
campus and conclude before lunch on Sunday. Please see the attached
conference poster.
The website for this conference is: https://sites.duke.edu/scuwm2016/
The primary goal of this conference is to increase interest in and
awareness of both mathematical careers and graduate school opportunities
in the mathematical sciences. This conference will provide an
opportunity for like-minded undergraduate women to grow their peer
network in the mathematical community and will connect participants with
graduate students and faculty who can share their experiences working in
mathematics. There will be opportunities to present original research
or expository talks, and participants are encouraged to apply to give a
short talk and/or present a poster by submitting an abstract through the
registration form. Participants in general need not have conducted
research.
The conference will also host two keynote speakers:
Anita Layton of Duke University
(https://services.math.duke.edu/~alayton/)
Jane Hawkins of UNC (http://math.unc.edu/people/faculty/jane-hawkins)
Registration is now open, and accessible on the website above.
There is a $10 registration fee for undergraduates, but faculty and
graduate students can register and attend for free. Students will need
to arrange their own transportation to the conference, but we do have
funds to pay for hotel accommodations (under specific conditions -
details are on the website under Travel Information and Support).
Registration closes on October 25th, so please encourage your students
to register soon. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact
me.
Sincerely,
Sarah Schott
