Women in Math and Science (WIMS) is an organization which strives to provide support and guidance for female mathematicians and scientists at the University of Virginia; to create awareness of issues affecting career development and success; to centralize resources available for career and personal development; and to promote service outside of the University community for young scientists.

WIMS is involved in: 

• Local Albemarle County elementary school outreach
• Habitat for Humanity
• Introducing high school girls to graduate school research and life (Central Virginia Governor's School visit)
• Holiday stocking drives for teens
• Drives to collect toiletries and other necessities for a local women's abuse shelter
• Local science fair awards
• Charlottesville Women's 4-miler participation to raise money for UVA Women's Breast Care Center
• Sponsoring career oriented events (Career Day, guest speakers during the year)
• Contributing to GSASC committees investigating issues for graduate students (i.e. Parental leave policy for grad students) 
• Social events and fundraising (cool cups and t-shirts) to raise money for WIMS activities

WIMS is geared toward all graduate students in the math and sciences, and we encourage all interested parties to attend events!
