The topics and panelists include The AWM Essay Contest: Victoria E. Howle, Sandia National Laboratories; Sonia Kovalevsky High School Mathematics Days: Elizabeth G. Yanik, Emporia State University; The AWM Mentor Network: Rachel A. Kuske, University of British Columbia; The AWM Teacher Partnership: Suzanne Lenhart, University of Tennessee, Knoxville; The AWM Travel Grants Program: Cathy Kessel. Just before the panel discussion, AWM will recognize the Alice T. Schafer award honorees (formal announcement of the first place award is at the Joint Prize Session on Monday afternoon).

Reception, Sunday, 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. See the listing in Social Events.

Workshop, Wednesday, 8:20 a.m. to 4:20 p.m. With funding from the Office of Naval Research and the National Security Agency, AWM will conduct its workshop for women graduate students and women who have received the Ph.D. within the last five years. Twenty women mathematicians are selected in advance of this workshop to present their research; graduate students will present posters, and the recent Ph.D's will give 20-minute talks. The workshop opens with a dinner on a previous evening to introduce workshoppers and mentors, and includes a panel discussion on career issues. All mathematicians (female and male) are invited to attend the entire program. Departments are urged to help graduate students and recent Ph.D's who do not receive funding to obtain some institutional support to attend the workshop and other meeting sessions. The deadline for applications for presenting and funding has expired. Updated information about the Workshop is available at www.awm-math.org/workshops.html. AWM seeks volunteers to lead discussion groups and to act as mentors for workshop participants. If you are interested, please contact the AWM office; inquiries regarding future workshops may be made to the office at awm@awm-math.edu.

Establishing a Career in Mathematics, Wednesday, 1:00 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. This AWM Workshop panel discussion is moderated by Magnhild Lien, California State University Northridge. Panelists are Megan M. Kerr, Wellesley College; Elizabeth S. Allman, University of Alaska, Fairbanks; and Elana J. Fertig, Metron, Inc.

Math on the Web, Sunday to Wednesday, various times. The problem of communicating math on the Web is really no different than communicating math via other media. Namely, authoring and displaying mathematical notation is difficult. On top of that, the Web is a dynamic medium, where users can interact with rich media documents in sophisticated ways. This introduces a whole new layer of challenges and possibilities for engaging, interactive communication between authors and readers. There will be several presentations on the exhibit hall floor throughout the meeting. Click here for details.

Mathematical Art Exhibit, organized by Robert Fathauer, Tesselations Company, Nathaniel A. Friedman, ISAMA and SUNY Albany, and Reza Sarhangi, Bridges Conference, Towson University. A popular feature at the last Joint Mathematics Meetings in New Orleans, this exhibit provides a break in your day. On display are works in various media by artists who are inspired by mathematics and by mathematicians who use visual art to express their findings. Fractals, symmetry, and tiling are some of the ideas at play here. Don't miss this unique opportunity for a different perspective on mathematics. The exhibit will be located in the exhibits and will be open during the regular exhibit hours.
