Interested in stirring up student interest in mathematics?
Start an AWM Student Chapter!
The Association for Women in Mathematics invites you to form an AWM Student Chapter at your university.
To form a chapter, a group must have three AWM student members willing to serve as officers and a faculty sponsor who is also an AWM member. These students and the faculty sponsor must complete a petition to become a student chapter along with proposed chapter bylaws.
Becoming an AWM Student Chapter is quite easy. See the Student Chapter Guidelines below to submit a "Pro-Forma Bylaws" and a "Petition to create a chapter" form here to get started. Bylaws are to be submitted to the AWM Committee on Student Chapters, and the petition form is to be filled out electronically at the link above. Your chapter officers and faculty sponsor are required to be AWM members. Once the petition and bylaws are approved, the chapter is established.
Contact awm@awm-math.org if you have any questions.
AWM Student Chapters will hold regular meetings and events, open to all undergraduate and graduate students, regardless of major or gender. These meetings and activities allow students to be exposed to the world of professional mathematics, to obtain information about the varied career options in mathematics, to network with professional mathematicians, and to develop leadership skills. Suggested activities for student chapters include sponsoring a lecture series by either students or local mathematicians, site visits to major employers of mathematicians, outreach through activities such as tutoring, social gatherings such as picnics or banquets, mentoring programs for youth, and special events such as career days.
