Up to Women in Science and Engineering
Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM)
The AWM is a nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging and promoting women and girls in the mathematical sciences including pure mathematics, statistics, and applied math. The AWM site has career information, articles about women in mathematics, brochures profiling women in math, and more!
Association for Women in Science (AWIS)
AWIS is a non-profit organization established in 1971, dedicated to achieving equity and full participation for women in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. AWIS has over 5,000 members in fields spanning the life and physical sciences, mathematics, social science, and engineering.
Women in Math (WIM)
Women in Math (WIM) is an organization at the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP). WIM is dedicated to serving the needs of women mathematicians at UMCP. In order to fulfill that purpose, WIM members have organized a number of events. Two ongoing activities are monthly lunch get-togethers and biweekly graduate women talks. We also have an electronic newsletter for our members. The web page features links to numerous sites related to women and the sciences.
Graduate Women in Science
Graduate Women in Science is an interdisciplinary society of scientists who encourage and support women to enter and achieve success in science through full participation in their scientific research and its applications; in the development and advancement of women; in the integration of their careers, personal goals, and society's needs; and by professional networking and mutual inspiration.
The Noetherian Ring at UC Berkeley
The Noetherian Ring is a group of women in mathematics at U.C. Berkeley. They meet once a week during the academic year. Meetings begin with a half hour of refreshments and discussion. There is also a half-hour math talk, usually given by one of the members.
Women in Mathematics
These pages contain information and links of interest to women in mathematics and to women contemplating careers in mathematics.
Society of Women Engineers (SWE)
SWE's Mission: "stimulates women to achieve full potential in careers as engineers and leaders, expands the image of the engineering profession as a positive force in improving the quality of life, and demonstrates the value of diversity"
TAP: The Ada Project
Tapping internet resources for women in computer science.
Women's International Science Collaboration (WISC) Program
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Directorate for International Programs announces the Women's International Science Collaboration (WISC) Program for 2001-2003. Supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), this program aims to increase the participation of women in international scientific research by helping establish new research partnerships with colleagues in Central/Eastern Europe, Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union, Near East, Middle East, Pacific, Africa, the Americas, and Asia. Small grants ($4,000-5,000) will provide travel and living support for a U.S. scientist and, when appropriate, a co-PI to visit a partner country to develop a research program. Funds can also be used to support a second visit to the partner country or for a foreign partner to travel to the U.S.
The Association for Women in Computing (AWC)
AWC, founded in 1978, is a national organization that encourages, promotes, and serves the interest of women in computing.
Women in Technology International (WITI)
"WITI, founded in 1989, is a rapidly growing association of more than 6,000 members, 95% of whom are professional women working in technology organizations. WITI is dedicated to increasing the number of women in executive roles, helping women become more financially independent and technology-literate, and encouraging young women to choose careers in science and technology."
American Association of University Women (AAUW)
AAUW is a national organization that promotes education and equity for all women and girls.
IEEE Women-In-Engineering Home Page
Useful collection of articles and resouces for women in engineering.
Alberta Women's Science Network
Mission: "To give women in science opportunities to realize their full potential and to attain a higher profile in society through visibility, networking and programs designed to fulfill these goals."
The Women in Engineering Organization
WIEO.org is a partnership between Tufts University, the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), and the Women in Engineering Programs and Advocates Network (WEPAN), and is funded by a grant from GE Fund. The site offers a working compilation of engineering programs running throughout the country as well as opportunities and information about engineering for each of our target groups: girls, parents, k-12 teachers, guidance counselors, college women, college faculty, industry professionals, and project directors. In addition, each of these target groups can find such things as, engineering related books, fun games and contests, scholarships, internships, jobs, lesson plans, funding opportunities, discussion boards and especially programs running throughout the country they might like to take part in. WIEO.org Your Engineering Directory.
Women in Science and Engineering (WISE)
WISE, founded in 1993, serves to support and encourage women in the the fields of science and engineering. Through seminars and various other activities, they offer women a chance to meet and support each other in the sciences. WISE has a newsletter that you can receive via e-mail.
UCLA STEM-PLEDGE: Providing Leadership & Enhancing Diversity in Grad Ed
UCLA STEM-PLEDGE (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Providing Leadership & Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education) is a student led group of master's and doctoral students sponsored by the University of California, Los Angeles chapter of the Alliance for Graduate Education to the Professoriate (AGEP). The primary goal of STEM-PLEDGE is to identify and address the barriers that prevent the full participation of groups underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics graduate programs at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Association for Women in Science's Mentoring Project
The project focused on career opportunities and options, selection of academic course work, research opportunities, professional contacts and networking, self-image and self-confidence, and balancing work and family. In addition, this program focused on small group mentoring, facilitating peer mentoring as well as student-to-mentor interaction. The project recently won a Presidential Mentoring Award.
Women and Mathematics (WAM)
WAM is an advising and mentoring program whose purpose is to stimulate interest in mathematics among all students, regardless of their career choices. It is a program to motivate and inspire students, especially young women, towards careers in mathematics, science, and technology. This program is administered by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).
