Future Faculty Program Chair, Clemson Association of Women in Mathematics (AWM) Student Chapter (June 2013 - present) The Clemson AWM Chapter is currently developing a Preparing Future Faculty program that will offer graduate students the opportunity to teach in an upper level undergraduate mathematics course while being mentored by a faculty member. We are still in the developmental stages of our proposal and are actively seeking funding.
