[Female-math-faculty] AWM/MfA 2022 Essay Contest

[Ghazal Geshnizjani]

The Association for Women in Mathematics and Math for America cosponsor an
essay contest each year for students in three categories: Grades 6-8,
Grades 9-12, and Undergraduate. Contestants interview a woman in a
mathematical career about her life and work and then write and submit a
biographical essay based on their interview. You can find out more at
https://awm-math.org/awards/student-essay-contest/: contest rules, an FAQ,
submission instructions, etc.

*If you're a student in one of these categories:* We'd love to read your
essay (and your friends' essays, and your siblings' essays, and...). Please
enter!

*If you're a woman working in/retired from a mathematical career:* Please
share this with the students you know, and if you would be willing to be
interviewed yourself, please fill out the Google Form at the bottom of the
website mentioned earlier. This would require a time commitment of about an
hour, probably between November and January.

*If you're a mathematically inclined professional:* Please share this with
the students you know! If you're interested in serving as a judge for some
of the essays, please e-mail Dr. Johanna Franklin at
johanna.n.franklin at hofstra.edu. This would require a time commitment of a
couple of hours in February.

Submissions will open on December 1, but of course students can conduct
their interviews and write their essays before that -- we know it can be
hard to interview a mathematician and write an essay over the holidays.

Thank you for reading, and I hope we get to meet you, whether it's as a
contestant or a volunteer!
