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.
