Ithaca College

 The Department of Mathematics at Ithaca College is hosting the first annual IC Women in Math Day on Saturday, March 24th.

 This event is an opportunity for female high school students and their families to engage with interesting mathematical ideas and to learn more about careers that incorporate mathematics. If you know of a female high school student who may be interested in this opportunity, we ask that you pass along this information. There is no cost to participate in the event and lunch will be provided.

We are pleased to offer a variety of activities throughout the day. Arrivals and check-in will begin at 9am and the festivities will begin at 9:30AM. The day will consist of a keynote address by Daina Taimina, a career panel of women who use mathematics in their work, a series of fun hands-on activities, and time to socialize with other students interested in mathematics. Accompanying adults are welcome and encouraged to participate in all activities.

For more information and to sign up for this event, go to https://www.ithaca.edu/hs/depts/math/outreach/ic_women_in_math_day/.  There, you will find a schedule for the day and a link to the online registration form where you can register both the students who will attend and any accompanying adults who would also like to participate. Once we receive your registration, we will send you a confirmation email.

Since there is a significant hands-on experience, we ask that you register by Sunday, March 18, 2018.  Registration will close when we reach our maximum cap, so be sure to register soon!

The program will be held in the Park Center for Business and Sustainable Enterprise on the Ithaca College campus.  Details on directions and parking are available at the college website. If you have any questions, contact Vera Babenko at vbabenko@ithaca.edu.

We hope to see you at the first annual IC Women in Math Day on March 24th!
