Women in Mathematics at Nebraska (WUMN) was founded in 2008 by UNL female undergraduates interested in developing a social network to discuss different mathematical and non-mathematical issues that women might encounter during and after college.
In 2018 WUMN has re-defined itself as a chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM).
- Currently the AWM student chapter holds joint meetings with the Math Club and Pi Mu Epsilon. Take a look at the upcoming Math Club events.

GAME NIGHT! On Thursday, February 13th, AWM will host a game night in Avery 348 (the third floor lounge) from 6:30-8:30pm.
This will be a fun, casual event where you can meet other math students and learn about opportunities to get involved. We will have a variety of games (party, collaborative, strategy, etc.) but feel free to bring your favorites!
All students, regardless of gender identity, are welcome to attend. Please email Lauren Cranton Heller (lheller2@unl.edu) if you have any questions!
