Join WiM and WiCS with UW Chess and UW Poker to celebrate International Women’s Day! Did you know only about 5% of professional poker players and 15% of  all the licensed chess players are women?

Come out on March 8th from 4:00-6:00 pm to Up Your Game in poker and chess, and learn how to apply these critical strategies to your life and career.  Faculty, students, staff, postdocs and other members of the university are invited to join. All levels and genders are welcome!

WiM Directed Reading Program (DRP) initiative aims to provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to work with graduate students on a mathematical project.

Join the DRP lunch & learn to hear from groups participating in our Fall DRP talk about the progress of their projects and share the best teamwork practices they have learned.  Enjoy some food and spend time with fellow classmates while learning more about the WiM Directed Reading Program (DRP).

This event is open to all students and WiM Members.

Coming to the University of Waterloo this fall is the play Truth Values: One Girl’s Romp Through M.I.T.’s Male Math Maze, written and performed by former mathematician Gioia De Cari. She experienced first-hand the difficulties and inequities of being a professional woman in a male-dominated field and now uses her one-woman show to provide a humorous, scathing, insightful, and ultimately uplifting look at the challenges she and many other women face in STEM fields.

Following the play, join Gioia and panellists for a discussion on Women in STEM fields, the progress that has been made, and how we can continue to push towards greater equity, diversity, and inclusion for all people. This is a free event open to the entire University of Waterloo community. All are encouraged to come see this incredible performance and engage in the conversation.
