Notable Groups/Events on Campus for Female Mathematicians:
- Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM), which “[encourages] women and girls to study and to have active careers in the mathematical sciences, and [promotes] equal opportunity and the equal treatment of women and girls in the mathematical sciences”.
- Sonia Math Day, a yearly event ran by the AWM for girls in grades 8 through 12 to explore math in a fun, hands-on environment. The day is named after Sofia Kovalevskaya, a Russian mathematician who was the first woman to receive a doctorate in math and made significant progress in the field of partial differential equations.
- Women in Math, Science, and Engineering (WIMSE) is an on-campus residence for undergraduate female students at Illinois to live with fellow women scientists and engineers in an academically supportive dormitory space.
