 The Celebration of Women in Mathematics (CWM) was held on December 14, 2006 at Elizabeth City State University. This event is held in conjunction with Sonia Kavaleskya Day sponsored by the Association of Women in Mathematics (AWM). Sonia Kovalevsky Day consists of a program of workshops, talks, and math competitions for middle/high school girls and their teachers. The purpose of the program is to encourage young women to continue their study of mathematics. Sonia Kovalevskaya was a great mathematician and an advocate of women's rights in the 19th century. It was her struggle to obtain the best education available which began to open doors at universities to women.
