The Conference will give outstanding undergraduate
women the opportunity to discuss their own research and to meet other
women who share their interest in the mathematical sciences. Conference
activities on Friday will occur on the university's city
campus, and on Saturday and Sunday at the Lincoln Downtown
Holiday Inn, a short walk
from downtown Lincoln.
Conference participants will also 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. Although we do not regard this Conference
as an appropriate venue for faculty representatives to recruit
applicants for their graduate programs, we would like to encourage
departments to contact us about sponsoring women graduate students
from their programs at the Conference.
We will regularly update this page as plans for the conference are finalized.

Contributed Presentations
NCUWM is a great opportunity for undergraduate women to
present their mathematics research to a supportive audience.
We have room in the schedule for 48 15-minute talks by
undergraduate women and we have a very large capacity for
poster presentations. As of December 5, the
talk slots are full. We have a very lively poster session,
and there are still slots available in it. If you prefer to
give a talk but are willing to present a poster, we suggest
that you register to present a poster but also send an email
to ncuwm@math.unl.edu to
let us know. If you have already registered to give a talk
and are willing to present a poster instead, please let us
know right away!
