Yeah. This nicely encapsulates the post-baccalaureate need filled by the Center.
The Center for Women in Mathematics is a part of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. It's a place for women to get intensive training in mathematics at the advanced undergraduate level, and an opportunity to do math in a community that is fun, friendly and serious about mathematics. The experience should also help build the skills and confidence needed to continue to graduate school in the mathematical sciences.
The center features two programs open to visiting students, the Junior Program and the Postbaccalaureate Program.
