Workshop

Join WiM for a 2-day hands-on workshop for women in math who are pursuing a graduate degree (Masters or PhD) to get better prepared for a successful completion of the program as well as receive guidance and mentorship with regards to career opportunities post-graduation! Our aim is to create a comfortable space that is conducive for healthy discussions and reflections as well as to promote interaction between peers within the Faculty of Mathematics.

Register here before March 23. Please note that attendance is limited to 30 participants in total. Registered participants on a waitlist will be informed if a spot opens up.  

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!

What is Tech Challenge?

Join us on Thursday, March 14th for the WiCS/HeForShe Sexism Response Workshop.

Women in Mathematics is proud to host our first ever Lean-In Circle event!

Come join the conversation! This is an opportunity to share experiences and get advice on how to navigate the workplace from other women!

Pizza and refreshments will be provided!

The workshop focuses on strategies for responding constructively to micro aggressions and biases. If you’ve ever been told that you only got into your program "because you're a girl”, or you’re sick of being called the "diversity hire" without a witty retort in mind, this workshop is for you! We’ll be covering response strategies that you can use every day -- whether you are the target of a sexist comment or a bystander. This will be an interactive workshop, with lots of group discussion of different scenarios in different contexts.

   (pizza will be provided!)

We hope you can join us on Monday, June 25th at 4:30 pm in E2 2350 for a Sexism Response Workshop provided by Women in Computer Science, HeForShe in Engineering and HeforShe in Math.

Registration is NOT required. FREE food will be provided.

All students are welcome.
