The Celebration of Women in Mathematics on May 12 is part of an international initiative to inspire women everywhere to celebrate their achievements in mathematics, and to encourage an open, welcoming, and inclusive work environment for everybody. May 12 was chosen for this annual event, as it is the birthdate of Fields medalist Maryam Mirzakhani. 

MSRI's event will include a short film about women in mathematics; clips from a film about Maryam Mirzakhani; a panel discussion; breakout rooms on the subjects of Math and Racial Justice, Balancing Family and Work, Imposter Syndrome, and the Impact of COVID-19; and a virtual social "tea".
