For the past six years, Underrepresented Students in Topology and Algebra Research Symposium (USTARS) has met every April and has grown into a three-day event featuring thirty-minute research talks given by graduate students in the fields of topology and algebra, an early career faculty workshop, a professional development session, and a poster session for invited undergraduates. It also now includes two Distinguished Graduate StudentAwards, given to a graduate student in each of topology and algebra, and an early-career faculty speaker presenting on their mathematical journey. Graduate students at all stages of their research careers are invited to attend USTARS and discuss techniques and concepts that they are exploring as part of the process of producing their graduate theses and, in turn, gain new insight into their research from students and professors at other institutions who may view the problem from a different perspective. Additionally, USTARS provides a venue for mentorship and potential collaboration. Faculty who attend are encouraged to help undergraduate and transitional graduate students find research areas and to urge students to meet and network with people interested in their areas of research. But, most of all, it provides a place for underrepresented students to showcase their research to a diverse group of mathematicians in a supportive environment.
