The 4th annual Career Mentoring Worskhop (CaMeW) for Women in the mathematical sciences will be held July 18-20, 2010 at The United States Military Academy (West Point, NY). The goals of the workshop are to help inform women finishing their PhDs about different aspects of the job search and different career paths and to introduce them to peers and mentors on whom they can call over the next year (and beyond). Women who are intending to finish their PhDs next year are encouraged to apply. Funding from the Center for Diversity in West Point's Math Department will provide at least partial funding for all participants. More information and the application can be found at the website: www.wheatoncollege.edu/camew. The application deadline is May 15th.
