Eleventh Annual

January 30 - February 1, 2009

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.


Plenary Speakers:	Sun-Yung Alice Chang (Princeton University) Mary Lou Zeeman (Bowdoin College)
Guests:	Ivelisse Rubio (University of Puerto Rico-Río Piedras)
The Organizing Committee gratefully acknowledges generous support from the National Science Foundation (through our Mentoring Through Critical Transition Points grant) and the National Security Agency. Contributed Presentations NCUWM is a great opportunity for undergraduate women to present their original 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. Speakers are expected to talk about research they themselves have carried out, either individually or as part of a team, and to provide us abstracts of their talks by the registration deadline. Registration The conference starts Friday January 30 at 3:30 pm. Check-in for the conference will be available starting at 1 pm Friday January 30 at the UNL City Campus Student Union (at 14th and R, five blocks east and two blocks north of the conference hotel (Holiday Inn) at 9th and P).

The hotel is an easy walk from the Union. Note: There is a shuttle service between Omaha and Lincoln. You can check out pricing at http://www.omalink.com. Alternative Transportation: Eppley Express Directions To Lincoln: If you are arriving in Lincoln via Interstate 80,you should take the Downtown Lincoln Exit (onto I-180). It is difficult to miss seeing the football stadium on your left as you approach downtown Lincoln on I-180. Stay on I-180 past the football stadium until it becomes 9th St. The Holiday Inn is on the southwest corner of 9th and P.
