Special Programs and Strategies to Reach Underrepresented Populations,
Friday 9:00 am - 11:00 am, organized by Elizabeth (Betsy) Yanik, Emporia
State University; Jennifer Hontz, Meredith College; and Kathleen
Sullivan, Mathematics Department, Seattle University. This poster
session is designed to publicize successful activities which have been
used to attract and encourage underrepresented populations in
mathematics. It is expected that posters representing a wide range of
programming would be appropriate for this session. Efforts such as after
school clubs, special conferences, mentoring programs, and summer camps
are just a few of the possible formats that might be highlighted.
Recipients of grants from the Tensor Foundation or the NSF programs in
Gender Diversity in STEM Education or Informal Science, might be
particularly interested in sending in a poster proposal. Those who are
conducting pilot projects or beginning projects are also welcome to
submit a poster proposal to present in this session.
Send title and abstract by e-mail to
yanikeli@emporia.edu, or by
regular mail to Betsy Yanik, Department of Mathematics and Computer
Science, Emporia State University, Emporia, KS 66801 by December 7,
2004. Include author's name, address, phone number, email, and
affiliation. Trifold, selfstanding 48" by 36" tabletop posters will be
provided. Additional material or equipment is the responsibility of the
presenters. The session is sponsored by the Committee on the
Participation of Women and the Women and Mathematics Network.
