The 22nd iteration of the Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics (NCUWM) will be hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln from January 31st through February 2nd, 2020, while the 23rd and 24th installments will take place in late January or early February in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Women remain an underrepresented population in the mathematical sciences, and the mission of the conference is to encourage and support undergraduate women mathematics majors in order to help them pursue graduate education and careers in mathematics. NCUWM achieves it goals through a variety of activities. Plenary talks given by successful women mathematicians showcase different kinds of mathematics and different careers made possible by a mathematical education. Three panel discussions and a range of small group discussions disseminate information on a number of topics involving graduate school and career options. A significant percentage of conference attendees have completed original research projects, and the conference provides a venue for students to share this research in 48 talk slots and a poster session. Additionally, the schedule includes a variety of networking activities that help participants connect with peers and mentors.Undergraduate attendees benefit from learning cutting edge mathematics from the presentations of the plenary speakers as well as from undergraduate research presentations, and student presenters have the opportunity to share their research with supportive and welcoming audiences. NCUWM has won the AMS Award for Mathematics Programs that Make a Difference and has received exemplary feedback from an independent assessment. The conference has seen an ever-increasing breadth of applicants each year and has been recognized as a model for other undergraduate conferences. These outcomes have occurred because of the guidance of an overall mentoring philosophy that features active involvement of mentees and role models at a variety of career stages, thoughtful matching of conference activities to specific mentoring needs, enthusiastic support from the Department of Mathematics and the University of Nebraska administration, and the leadership of faculty who have dedicated a portion of their careers to making NCUWM a success.The conference webpage is available at https://www.math.unl.edu/~ncuwm/This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

内布拉斯加大学本科女性数学会议（NCUWM）的第22次迭代将由内布拉斯加大学林肯分校主办，从1月31日至2020年2月2日，而第23和第24期将分别在2021年和2022年的1月底或2月初举行。 妇女在数学科学领域的代表性仍然不足，会议的使命是鼓励和支持本科数学专业的妇女，以帮助她们接受研究生教育和从事数学职业。 NCUWM通过各种活动实现其目标。 成功的女性数学家的全体会议演讲展示了不同类型的数学和不同的职业生涯可能由数学教育。 三个小组讨论会和一系列小组讨论会传播有关研究生院和职业选择的一些主题的信息。 很大一部分与会者已经完成了原创研究项目，会议为学生提供了一个场所，让他们在48个演讲时段和一个海报会议中分享这项研究。 此外，课程安排还包括各种网络活动，帮助参与者与同行和导师建立联系。本科生与会者从全体演讲者的演讲以及本科生研究报告中学习前沿数学，学生演讲者有机会与支持和欢迎的观众分享他们的研究。 NCUWM赢得了AMS奖的数学程序，使一个差异，并已收到来自独立评估的模范反馈。 该会议每年都有越来越多的申请者，并被公认为其他本科会议的典范。 这些成果的取得是因为整体指导理念的指导，该理念的特点是学员和榜样在各个职业阶段的积极参与、会议活动与特定指导需求的深思熟虑的匹配、数学系和内布拉斯加大学的热情支持。管理，以及致力于使NCUWM取得成功的教师的领导。会议网页可在www.example.com获得https://www.math.unl.edu/~ncuwm/This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
