The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) will hold a workshop from Sunday evening through Tuesday morning, July 12-14, 1998. These events are held in conjunction with the Ninth SIAM Conference on Discrete Mathematics (July 12-15, 1998) and the 1998 SIAM Annual Meeting (July 13-17, 1998). AWM and SIAM welcome your participation. The sessions focus on showcasing the research of women graduate students and postdoctoral mathematicians and helping individuals to prepare for careers in the mathematical sciences. Our first session is a minisymposium which focuses on career planning and career experiences. Our workshop also has three research minisymposia presented by postdoctoral mathematicians and a poster session presented by graduate students. In addition, starting off our events on Sunday evening will be a dinner with a keynote speaker. There is NO registration fee for the AWM Workshop. The minisymposia and poster session are open to all SIAM Meeting attendees. Preregistration for the AWM dinner is strongly encouraged. Tickets on-site will be very limited. Individuals can inquire about ticket availability from the AWM staff on-site or by contacting the AWM office, 4114 Computer and Space Sciences Bldg., University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742-2461; 301-405-7892 or [email protected]. For further information on the workshop, contact the workshop chairperson, Suzanne Lenhart ([email protected]) or Dawn Wheeler at the AWM office ([email protected]). Volunteers Needed"Volunteers are needed to be "mentors" at the AWM Workshop (July 12-14, 1998) held in conjunction with the SIAM meetings at the University of Toronto (July 12-17, 1998). Mentors are matched with a postdoc, who is giving a talk in the workshop. Mentors should attend the talk of the postdoc and give some constructive advice about the talk. If possible, the mentor should attend the AWM dinner to get introduced to the postdoc or arrange to talk with the postdoc at some other time." "Volunteers are also needed to participate in a "get-acquainted" session on Sunday afternoon, July 12 at the Toronto workshop. Career advice and situations will be discussed at the session." If interested, volunteers should contact Suzanne Lenhart at [email protected] or the AWM office at [email protected]. |
