Sonia Math Day for Girls

If you are a girl with an interest in mathematics, this event is for you!

Each year, Rose professors and math majors invite girls to campus to participate in engaging and interactive sessions, which pay tribute to Sonia Kovalevsky – a pioneer for female mathematicians.

The free event is sponsored by the Department of Mathematics and the Rose-Hulman Student Chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM). This event is open to those who are currently in a high school level mathematics class.

Registration has closed for the 2023 event. We hope to see you in 2024!
