Over the last two decades, Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education (EDGE) has been highly influential in helping women from diverse backgrounds succeed as Ph.D. students in mathematics. EDGE’s success was nationally recognized in 2018, when it received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. This grant supports Ami Radunskaya, professor of mathematics at Pomona College and the current chair of the EDGE Board, in her efforts to increase diversity in advanced mathematics education. Grant funds will help finance the next three EDGE Summer Programs (2022-2024). These four-week summer events are meant to help prepare women entering mathematics Ph.D. programs by teaching critical content, developing necessary graduate school skills, establishing mentoring channels, and growing a community of supportive mathematicians. Participants will attend intensive technical workshops, problem solving sessions, presentations, seminars, and annual summer symposiums to build their networks. Grant funds will also help to produce the EDGE Notes Book, an open collection of notes, problems, and solutions for those unable to attend.
