Women In Mathematics
is an active group of women in the Department of
Mathematics at Northwestern University organized in October
2004. The members of the group are faculty, instructors,
postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students.
Our activities include monthly meetings for the women in the
department, informal discussions of issues facing women in mathematics,
panels on specific topics of interest to women in the department, and
sponsoring speakers in all seminars in the math department. We welcome
anyone interested in coming to our meetings.
WIM and its activities are supported by a generous grant from the Edith
Krieger-Wolff Endowment.

Women and Mathematics is a joint program of the Institute for Advanced Study and Princeton University that "brings together research mathematicians with undergraduate and graduate students for an intensive 11-day workshop on the campus of the Institute for Advanced Study which is designed to address issues of gender imbalance in mathematics. Founded in 1994, the program includes lectures and seminars on a focused mathematical topic, mentoring, discussions on peer relations, an introduction to career opportunities and a women in sciences seminar." This year's program will focus on the topic of Geometric PDE and will run from June 8 - June 19, 2009. The application deadline is February 20, 2009.
