Women in Math at Wisconsin
March 28, 2008 - Professor Aissa Wade from Penn State University will visit us on March 28. Thanks to Professor Gloria Mari-Beffa, we will hold a luncheon with her on that day.
April 25, 2008 - Professor Chuu-Lian Terng from University of California, Irvine will be visiting us on this day, and because of Professor Gloria Mari-Beffa, we are invited to have lunch with Professor Terng. Professor Terng will also be giving the talk in the colloquium that Friday.
May 9, 2008 - Professor Ruth Williams from UCSD is the other WISELI speaker. She will visit us on May 8-9, 2008. She will give a talk in the probability seminar, and the colloquium. We will also organize a luncheon with Professor Williams.
For 2007-08, we are funded once again by WISELI's "Celebrating Women in the Sciences" grant to invite prominent women mathematicians to speak in the colloquium. Our speakers this year are Maria Westdickenberg from Georgia Tech and Ruth Williams from UCSD.
Who are we?
We are an informal group with the intention of gathering once a semester in the lounge for conversation and food. These gatherings are open to grad students, post docs, and professors. The purpose of this group is to recognize and help women mathematicians feel a sense of community in a field that is still predominantly male.
Our group is not the first of its kind at Wisconsin. Yvonne Nagel has compiled a list of women at UW.

Thanks to...
Paul Milewski, Jim Propp, and many of the professors at Wisconsin. Without their help, support, and guidance, these events would not have been possible.
