Dinner for Women in Probability:
Women in Probability is an organization for women active in probability research.
Our primary purpose is to provide networking and mentoring opportunities for
early career women. Our activities are funded by the NSF. For more information on
Women in Probability and its activities, please visit our website
http://womeninprobability.org
We will be hosting a dinner following the Northeast Probability Seminar on Friday,
November 21. We can offset costs for women graduate student and postdoc dinner
attendees. The invitation is open to all, and anyone interested in participating in
the dinner should please email Tai Melcher ([log in to unmask]).
