OSU Student Chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics

Welcome to the Oklahoma State University Student Chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics.

The purpose of AWM is to create a community in which women and girls can thrive in their mathematical endeavors and to promote equitable opportunity and gender-inclusivity across the mathematical sciences. The OSU chapter of AWM strives to create this welcoming environment and all genders are welcome. We host various events that provide opportunities for fellowship and networking. We also host outreach activities to showcase the beauty of mathematics and foster interest in the subject in students in our local communities.
