The Executive Committee of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) has established the AWM Fellows Program to recognize members who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to the support and advancement of women in the mathematical sciences, consistent with the AWM mission: “to create a community in which women and girls can thrive in their mathematical endeavors, and to promote equitable opportunity and treatment of women and others of marginalized genders and gender identities across the mathematical sciences.”
The inaugural class of the AWM Fellows Program was honored on January 10, 2018, at the AWM Reception and Award Ceremony at the Joint Mathematical Meetings (JMM) in San Diego. The inaugural class of Fellows has been designated by the AWM Executive Committee, drawing from a group of mathematicians who have shown an unwavering commitment to promoting and supporting women in mathematics. While this list of Fellows includes only a small number of deserving individuals, we hope that the mathematical community will nominate worthy candidates in the coming years, so that we can recognize the amazing contributions of so many people on behalf of the advancement of women and girls in the field of mathematics.
I am very happy to announce the 2023 list of new AWM Fellows. We recognize these individuals for their exceptional dedication to increasing the success and visibility of women in mathematics. Please join me in honoring the 2023 AWM Fellows at the AWM Reception and Awards Presentation on Friday, January 6, 2023, from 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm.
