Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics

内布拉斯加州大学林肯分校将于2020年1月31日至2月2日举办第22届内布拉斯加州本科女生数学会议（NCUWM），而第23届和第24届会议将分别于2021年和2022年1月底或2月初举行。在数学科学领域，女性仍然是一个代表性不足的群体，会议的使命是鼓励和支持主修数学的本科女性，以帮助她们追求数学研究生教育和职业生涯。NCUWM通过各种活动实现其目标。成功的女数学家所做的全体会议演讲展示了数学教育所带来的不同种类的数学和不同的职业。三个小组讨论和一系列小组讨论传播有关研究生院和职业选择的若干主题的信息。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，在48个演讲时段和海报环节分享他们的研究成果。此外，日程安排还包括各种网络活动，帮助参与者与同龄人和导师建立联系。本科生与会者可以从全体会议演讲者的演讲以及本科生的研究报告中学习到前沿的数学知识，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获得了美国数学协会颁发的“杰出数学项目奖”，并获得了一项独立评估的模范反馈。该会议每年都有越来越多的申请者参加，并被认为是其他本科生会议的典范。这些成果的出现，得益于整体指导理念的指导，其特点是学员和榜样在各个职业阶段的积极参与，会议活动与具体指导需求的周到匹配，来自数学系和内布拉斯加州大学管理部门的热情支持，以及教职员工的领导，他们将自己的一部分职业生涯奉献给了NCUWM的成功。会议网页可在https://www.math.unl.edu/~ncuwm/This上找到。奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。

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.
