Association for Women in Mathematics

Mission Statement

TheÌýAssociation for Women in Mathematics Boulder chapter (AWM Boulder) seeks to encourage and support underrepresented groups, with an emphasis onÌýwomen, to be active in the mathematical sciences and to promote a culture that fosters equal treatment of all students and faculty within the Applied Mathematics and Mathematics departments at the University of ColoradoÌýBoulder throughÌýAdvocacy, Mentorship,ÌýandÌýCommunity Engagement.

AWM Boulder is an official student chapter of theÌýAssociation for Women in Mathematics:

The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) is firmly committed to fostering an inclusive environment that enables a diverse community to be involved in and contribute to AWM activities. The AWM believes that all people with an interest in mathematics should be supported and encouraged to participate in the profession. Any type of underrepresentation is a problem for the entire mathematical community: it inevitably leads to missed opportunities and the loss of mathematical talent.ÌýThus,Ìýthe AWM strongly endorses broadening participation in the mathematical sciences in order to increase participation from underrepresented groups. It is AWM’s goal to celebrate, recognize and support a diverse mathematical community of individuals from across the spectrum of age, race, gender, gender identity and expression, national or ethnic origin, religion and religious belief, political affiliation or philosophy, marital status, parental status, body shape or size, sexual orientation, physical ability, socioeconomic status, employment status and other aspects of diversity.
