The Cornell Student Chapter was established in 2011 and is supported by Cornell's Department of Mathematics. Our chapter was a recipient of a 2017 Cook Award for our "commitment to women's issues and improving the campus climate for women at Cornell." In 2020, our chapter recieved the AWM Student Chapter Award for professional development. This award recognized our chapter for "the breadth and success of its program to develop students’ professional involvement in mathematics."
The goal of the Cornell Student Chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics is three-fold:
-
Increase the number of undergraduate students of minoritized genders enrolled in mathematics courses at Cornell.
-
Create a network of support for students (undergraduate and graduate) of minoritized genders who are studying math at Cornell.
-
Provide a forum in which issues pertaining to gender equity in math can be discussed.
Please note: people of all genders are welcome! The title of our group is the Association FOR Women in Mathematics -- and NOT the Association OF Women in Mathematics. As such, any member of the Cornell community who is "for" women and nonbinary persons in mathematics will be welcome at all chapter events.
