Celebrating Community and Expanding Opportunity
The AMS is committed to recognizing the people who shape the mathematical sciences. We highlight organizations and initiatives that support mathematicians from backgrounds historically excluded in the field. These efforts offer mentorship, visibility, and community–helping ensure everyone has the chance to thrive and lead in mathematics.
