OU Association for Women in Mathematics

AWM Mission

The purpose of the Association for Women in Mathematics is to create a community in which women and girls can thrive in their mathematical endeavors, and to promote equitable opportunity and treatment of women and others of marginalized genders and gender identities across the mathematical sciences.

Our AWM Chapter Mission

Our AWM Chapter aims to support women in our mathematics department. We intend to provide a social network among math graduates, undergraduates, and faculty members, a mutual support, and encouragement in achieving their professional goals.

We invite everyone who supports the purpose of AWM to join this chapter. Chapter members get free AWM membership.
