Conference: Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics

第26届内布拉斯加州女本科生数学大会(NCUWM)将于2024年1月26日至28日由内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校主办。大会第27次和第28次会议将分别于2025年和2026年1月底或2月初举行。这次会议的使命是支持希望进入研究生院的数学专业本科生，并帮助和鼓励她们利用数学来确定可能的职业。欢迎所有本科生申请，不分性别身份或表达方式、种族、肤色、民族或国籍。NCUWM在激励本科生学习数学方面发挥了重要作用，并对他们的专业成长产生了积极影响。会议计划包括著名女数学家的全体演讲、三个小组讨论、专注于一系列主题的小组对话，以及演讲和海报会议中的本科生研究报告。在整个计划中，各种网络机会将参与者与同行和榜样联系起来。自1999年以来，该会议每年举办一次，从53名本科生参加人数增加到每年250多人。在NCUWM成立25年的历史中，总共有5000多名本科生参加了该校的学习。除了专业发展机会，与会者还从全体演讲者和彼此那里学习尖端数学。许多与会者进行了独立的原创研究项目，会议计划包括一次海报会议，以及安排在平行会议上的本科生与会者超过五个小时的演讲。这三个小组的讨论集中在数学职业、选择研究生项目和随机提供的建议上。会议的设计以研究支持的断言为中心，即发展一个广泛的指导网络对于招募和留住STEM领域的妇女极其重要，正式评估的结果证实了会议对与会者的广泛影响。会议的网页可在https://math.unl.edu/ncuwm/.This网站上获得，该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 26th Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics (NCUWM) will be hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln from Jan. 26-28, 2024. The 27th and 28th iterations of the conference will take place in late January or early February in 2025 and 2026, respectively. The mission of this conference is to support undergraduate women mathematics majors who wish to attend graduate school and to help and encourage them to identify possible careers using mathematics. All undergraduates are welcome to apply, regardless of gender identity or expression, race, color, ethnicity, or national origin. NCUWM plays an important role in inspiring undergraduate participants to pursue mathematics and has a positive impact on their professional growth. The conference program includes plenary talks by prominent women mathematicians, three panel discussions, small group conversations focused on a range of topics, and undergraduate research presentations in talk and poster sessions. Various networking opportunities throughout the program connect participants with peers and role models. Held annually since 1999, the conference has grown from 53 undergraduate participants to over 250 each year. In total, more than 5,000 undergraduates have attended NCUWM in its 25-year history. In addition to professional development opportunities, participants learn cutting-edge mathematics from plenary speakers and from one another. Many attendees have conducted independent, original research projects, and the conference program includes a poster session and more than five hours of talks by undergraduate participants scheduled in parallel sessions. The three panel discussions focus on careers in mathematics, choosing a graduate program, and random bits of advice. The design of the conference centers on the research-supported assertion that developing a broad mentoring network can be incredibly important for the recruitment and retention of women in STEM fields, and results of formal evaluations have corroborated the broad impact the conference has had on its participants.
