The EDGE Southern California mentoring network in cooperation with the AWM and the Women in Math group at USC is organizing a one-day symposium for Women in Mathematics in Southern California.
- Learn about the research of other women in Southern California
- Present your work in a supportive environment
- Network with other Southern California women mathematicians
- Explore issues surrounding being a woman in mathematics
Our vision is two-fold:
The symposium will provide an opportunity for women in mathematics in the southern California area to get to know each other on a personal as well as a professional level. Our aim is to create a network of women mathematicians in the Southern California area in order to nurture collaborations and provide a framework for mentoring.
The symposium will provide an opportunity to develop professionally by giving a mathematical talk in a supportive, non-threatening environment.
