Congratulations to the Women in Mathematics (WiM) committee for being the recipient of the Canadian Mathematical Society’s (CMS) inaugural Inclusion in Mathematics Prize: Group Category.
This annual award is given to organizers of initiatives that further equity, diversity, and inclusion in the Canadian mathematical community, recognizing the work that contributes to a more welcoming and safe environment.
In the official announcement of the award recipients, the Prize Selection Committee noted that “Waterloo’s Women in Mathematics Committee is an outstanding example of what sustained, community-driven efforts can accomplish, made especially remarkable by the breadth and continuity of its work and by the fact that it is driven almost entirely by the commitment of faculty and student volunteers.”
