AWM Mentor Network
The goal of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Mentor
Network is to match mentors, both men and women, with girls and women who
are interested in mathematics or are pursuing careers in mathematics. The
network is intended to link mentors with a variety of groups: recent
PhD's, graduate students, undergraduates, high school and grade school
students, and teachers. Matching is based on common interests in careers
in academics or industry, math education, balance of career and family,
or general mathematical interests.
Interested? Here is what you can do.
BE A MENTOR or VOLUNTEER: Volunteer to mentor someone in their pursuit
of their mathematical interests or to help the AWM Mentor Network in
other ways. As a mentor you don't have to have all of the answers, but
you can help to make the connection to someone or someplace that does! We
invite mentors, and anyone else who is interested to join the Mentor
Network Forum on the AWM Forum Web Site, http://www.awm-math.org. We
strongly encourage mentors, mentees, and their institutions to join AWM so
that they can stay informed on opportunities and resources available
through the AWM.
REQUEST A MENTOR: Would you like to find out about opportunities for
math degrees or careers? Do you need some advice as you pursue your
mathematical studies or career? Do you have questions for someone who has
experience and expertise as a mathematician? Then request to be matched
with a mentor from the AWM Mentor Network!
Just fill out a form on the Mentor Network web site.
