About us
Gender Minorities in Math at Wisconsin (GmMaW, pronounced “gee-maw”) is the graduate student portion of the AWM Student Chapter. We strive to create a supportive community and provide opportunities for professional development for women and gender minorities in the Mathematics Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. To this end, we organize many events throughout the year, including weekly study sessions, workshops to create personal websites, and lunches with invited speakers. We also participate in outreach programs through the UW Mentorship program for women in Math and Science and working with local Girl Scouts.
For our events, see here.
