Who we are
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.

Fall 2023 Upcoming Events
Have you wondered how you could get paid to apply your math skills during the summer? Wondering about summer opportunities besides the typical REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) programs? On Thursday, November 30th at 5pm, Layla, Abby, and Elizabeth will share about their internship experiences and answer questions about finding and applying for these opportunities. The panel will be in Avery 351 and pizza will be provided. This is a joint event with Math Club.
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!
