Association for Women in Mathematics Student Chapter

An  Student Chapter has started here at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV! The goals of the Student Chapter are to increase support for women and other underrepresented groups in their academic and mathematical journeys, create opportunities for networking/mentorship with women at later career stages in mathematics, and host fun social activities! Any student at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV is welcome to join, regardless of gender identity or expression, race, colour, religion, age, national origin, sexual orientation, or ability.
