Student Mentoring Workshop for Mathematics Departments

该项目将支持一个由美国数学学会举办的讲习班，该讲习班与一些学院和大学、专业组织和个别专家合作，指导和培养数学学生。目标是在数学界建立意识，即具有已确定特征的项目可以增强学生的学术体验，提高学生的表现，并有助于吸引和留住学生。研讨会议程是确定和展示有效的指导方法，以提高在数学领域代表性不足的少数民族的吸引力和保留力，利用已证明成功的辅导和培养的机构的专门知识。研讨会将包括针对本科生，研究生和博士后学生的课程。通过确定成功的做法和传播这些发现的AMS网站和其他专业社会的通信方式，并通过参与机构，PI预计，数学系将有动力启动程序与辅导组件，这是预期改善部门的环境。

ABSTRACTThe project will support a workshop, held by the American Mathematical Society, in partnership with a number of colleges and universities, professional organizations, and individual experts, on the mentoring and nurturing of students in mathematics. The goal is to build awareness in the mathematics community that programs with the identified characteristics can enhance student academic experiences, improving student performance as well as aiding in attracting and retaining students.The workshop agenda is to identify and showcase effective mentoring methods to improve attraction and retention of underrepresented minorities in mathematics, utilizing expertise form institutions that have demonstrated successful mentoring and nurturing. The workshop will include programs directed toward undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral students. By identifying successful practices and disseminating these findings by way of the AMS website and other professional society communications, and through participating institutions, the PI anticipates that mathematics departments will be motivated to initiate programs with mentoring components, which is expected to improve departmental environment.
