======Mission Statement======

----

Our aim is to encourage and support women, girls, and otherwise underrepresented minorities to study mathematics and pursue related careers. Our goals and planned activities are:

  * **recognizing and celebrating the socioeconomic, racial, gender, and sexual orientation differences** among us through our communication and events in the math community
  * fostering **community** and **building a network of women and allies** among math fields and across undergrad/grad/postdocs/faculty
  * the **professional development** of our community;  in particular, providing information about various careers in mathematics and funding options for travel to conferences, and hosting, promoting, and developing workshops and talks led by women.
  * coordinating **outreach** activities at local schools to expose students to the broad world of math, while concurrently facilitating training for AWM members on strategies for effective outreach.

----

The AWM Student Chapter is **open to everyone**. In particular, we emphasize that we are open to all gender identities, and to faculty, researchers, and non-math majors, as well as to undergraduate and graduate math students.

As a student chapter, we are **student-organized** and **student-led**. However, we welcome participation and input from anyone.
