The 2024 conference features two plenary talks by outstanding women mathematicians: Dr. Erika Tatiana Camacho, University of Texas San Antonio, and Dr. Emily Riehl, Johns Hopkins University. Other women mathematicians from academia, industry, and government will participate in panel and small group discussions on a variety of topics. Among the plenary speakers and other invited guests, the conference makes a special effort to provide mentors from underrepresented minorities.

NCUWM’s overall goal: To arm participants with knowledge, self-confidence and a network of peers to help them become successful mathematicians. We do this by providing role models, insider knowledge, and an opportunity to present original research. Our focus is to encourage and mentor undergraduate women to pursue graduate study in mathematics and seek mathematical careers. Conference participants also will have a chance to learn about life in graduate school from the perspective of current women graduate students representing math departments from across the country.
