The UO AWM dissolved the Undergraduate Mentoring Committee at the end of the 2017-2018 academic year. Based on our chapter's past reading program, a committee of graduate students created the UO Directed Reading Program that pairs undergraduate and graduate students together to read about interesting mathematics. For more information about this program, visit blogs.uoregon.edu/uomathdrp. Below is information on the AWM Undergraduate Mentoring Committee from past years.

Undergraduate Mentoring Committee

Mission Statement

The mission of the Undergraduate Mentoring Committee is to provide resources for undergraduates interested in mathematics, with an emphasis on mentoring women. This will be accomplished through academic and social activities involving graduate and undergraduate students. The committee will also serve as a clearinghouse for information about opportunities for undergraduate mathematics majors.

2017-2018 Committee Co-Chairs: Mike Gartner, Christy Hazel
2016-2017 Committee Co-Chairs: Cathy Hsu, Tianyuan Xu
2015-2016 Committee Chair: Robert Muth
2014-2015 Committee Chair: Leanne Merrill
2013-2014 Committee Chair: A.J. Stewart

Undergraduate Reading Program

The Graduate/Undergraduate Reading Program pairs undergraduate students with graduate student mentors to supervise readings in mathematical topics of their choice. The program focuses on recruiting females, but all are welcome. Usually, readings meet once per week. In the early spring term, there will be a poster session for students to share their work with one another.
