Women in Mathematics Mentorship Award

Women in Mathematics Mentorship Awards, valued at $1,000, are provided to graduate students registered in the Faculty of Mathematics who lead an interesting reading or research project on a topic relevant in mathematics. Students must demonstrate sustained commitment to mentoring and inspiring undergraduate students who participate in the Women in Mathematics Directed Reading or Research Program (WiM DRP). The award recognizes the valuable time and work that mentors invest in helping the mentees throughout the term to develop insight and skills in mathematics. Selection is made at the end of each term by the WiM committee based on a review of regular reports and end-of-term presentations by the undergraduate mentees as a way of demonstrating that the graduate mentors fulfilled their requirements. This award is made possible with support from the Faculty of Mathematics and the Mathematics Endowment Fund. Up to 60 awards per year are available across the three academic terms (Winter, Spring, Fall).
