The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) is hosting our  first General Body Meeting (GBM #1) of the semester on Monday, September 14th, at 4:00 P.M. in Little Hall 225 . We’re excited to kick off the semester with a welcome‑back event. We’ll introduce AWM, talk about our activities and opportunities, and welcome both new and returning members. An informational flyer is attached below.   I would appreciate it if you could send this message to your students. If anyone would like to know more about the club, feel free to look at our website at https://awm.math.ufl.edu/ , contact our AWM Vice President, Puja Patel ( p.patel5@ufl.edu ), or our faculty sponsors, Dr. Gamage ( cgamage@ufl.edu ) and Professor Demas ( demasc@ufl.edu ).

  Happy Fall semester! My name is Kexuan Wu, and I serve as the Graduate Student Coordinator at the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE). We deeply appreciate your ongoing commitment to mentoring and supporting UF’s graduate students and postdoctoral communities. As another academic year gets underway, I wanted to take a moment to share a few CTE resources and programs designed to support graduate students and postdocs in their teaching, learning, and professional growth. UF graduate students, TAs, and postdocs are encouraged to earn CIRTL certificates from the CIRTL network , issued through CTE. Since UF joined the CIRTL, UF graduate students, TAs, and postdocs have free access to CIRTL programs , including workshops, courses, and events designed to prepare them for professional development. Subscribe to the CIRTL Newsletter to receive updates on upcoming events, workshops, courses, and teaching institutes, professional development opportunities, and academic job postings....

I plan to start having meetings of UF's Computational Approaches to Linguistic Meaning (CALM) lab, and I want to gauge people's availabilities this semester to determine a regular meeting time. The plan is to meet every two weeks.  For a bit of background, my general interests are in natural language semantics and pragmatics, and in using computational tools (broadly construed) to study them. I'm hoping that the CALM lab will serve as a hub for discussions of - and research on - semantics and pragmatics. The meetings themselves are meant to serve two purposes. First, they'll let us discuss papers (or longer pieces of work) that we care about. Second, students, post-docs, and faculty will be able to present their own ongoing research projects and obtain feedback. A schedule will be forthcoming. (We may also invite outside presenters in the future, but this is TBD right now.)   If you are i...
