Dear Colleague:

I'm writing to tell you about the upcoming Nebraska Conference for
Undergraduate Women in Mathematics and to ask for your help in identifying
outstanding undergraduate women to invite to the conference.  I'd
particularly like to point out that this year we have more funds available
to support participant travel.  While we do still ask that home institutions
fund what they can, we can use these funds to bring in people who wouldn't
otherwise be able to come.

The Ninth Annual Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in
Mathematics will be held February 9-11, 2007, at the University of
Nebraska--Lincoln.  This conference will bring together outstanding
undergraduate women mathematicians from across the country and give
those who have already done research an opportunity to present their
results. Professor Ruth Charney of Brandeis University and Professor
Barbara Lee Keyfitz of the Fields Institute and the University of
Houston will be the plenary speakers, and there will also be panel
discussions on graduate school in mathematics and careers in
mathematics.
More information about the conference is available on the web, at
http://www.math.unl.edu/~ncuwm

Last year, close to two hundred undergraduates attended the conference
and roughly 50 presented their research.  Many of the presenters talked
about research done in REU programs.  In light of this, we are writing to
ask you to recommend women students for us to invite to our conference,
either participants in your REU program or other outstanding women who
would benefit from attending the conference.  If you could, please send a
list of names and contact information (email addresses, if possible).
Please contact us if you have any questions.  We appreciate your help in
making sure that students have the chance to participate in the conference.
Also, feel free to tell those you recommend about the conference.

Due to the generous support of the National Science Foundation and the
National Security Agency, the conference is able to cover local expenses
(lodging and most meals) for all undergraduate women participants.  We also
are able to cover some participant travel costs, when participants' home
institutions are not able to fully cover their costs.  We very much
appreciate
the contributions of home institutions, which allow more students to attend
the conference.

We can be reached either by email or regular mail and can accept lists
by both methods (email is preferred).  The conference email address is
ncuwm at math.unl.edu and the regular mail address is:
