Rice University Student Chapter of the Association for

Women in Mathematics

Our goal to provide a supportive social network for undergraduates, graduate students and young faculty in mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics. We cater our events to promote interest in mathematics among women, and to provide leadership and career development opportunities for young mathematicians.

We are a new group and are open to new members and event suggestions! Please contact awm at rice dot edu if you'd like to get involved. Also, check out the AWM Facebook page.
