Evelyn Sander elected to the leadership Council of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
Mason professor Evelyn Sander has been elected to the leadership Council of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). SIAM is an international community of over 14,000 individual and over 500 institutional members. They are a non-profit organization committed to advancing research in, and application of mathematics and computational science. In her candidate statement she committed to helping SIAM make strides in D&I, saying, "Within mathematics, SIAM stands out for its attention to diversity and inclusion of members of groups who are traditionally underrepresented in mathematics, including diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, and geography. However, severe inequity remains, and the Council should focus on changes that encourage inclusion."
