Building on the success of the tri-annual midwest topology seminars, graduate students in Geometry and Topology from several midwest institutions began an annual Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference. Now in its seventh year, the University of Wisconsin will be hosting the conference in 2009. The plenary speakers will be John Baez from UC-Riverside and a distinguished geometer. In addition, 27 talks by graduate students, run in parallel sessions, will be delivered. The grant is primarily to provide travel assistance for participants and speakers.The conference will run two days and provide ample opportunities for informal discussions and new introductions to occur. Historically, these conferences have provided an excellent opportunity for positive support and fruitful collaborations to begin. The result has often been to increase students' success rate both in school and during the critical transition soon after finishing the doctorate. Because of the traditionally high participation rate among usually under represented demographics at these conferences combined with the conferences effectiveness as an aid to students during a critical transition period, partially supporting the approximately 160 participants is an effective investment in the science.The Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference is a two-day event in which graduate students from across the country meet to share their work, gain experience presenting at conferences, and hear from some of the most distinguished geometry and topology professors in the nation. Now in its seventh year, the conference draws around 160 graduate students from across the United States. The University of Wisconsin--Madison will be hosting the conference in 2009, with grant funds primarily aimed at providing travel assistance for participants. The conference consists of twenty-seven talks given by graduate students, in addition to two plenary talks by visiting professors; this year the plenary talks are given by John Baez from UC-Riverside and a distinguished geometer. Through its unique combination of research and expository talks, the Graduate Student Topology and Geometry Conference creates a supportive environment to encourage future researchers and to allow them to make contacts amongst one-another that can lead to future collaboration. Additionally, the experience of presenting at a conference allows speakers to refine their speaking skills and grow into more effective communicators. The conference also encourages communication among different geographic regions.Participants come from very diverse schools all across the country and include graduate students at all years of study with a high participation rate among usually under represented demographics.

在三年一次的中西部拓扑研讨会的成功基础上，来自几个中西部机构的几何和拓扑研究生开始了一年一度的研究生拓扑和几何会议。现在是第七个年头，威斯康星州大学将主办2009年的会议。全体会议的发言人将是来自加州大学河滨分校的约翰·贝兹和一位杰出的几何学家。此外，还将举行27场研究生讲座，以平行会议的形式进行。该赠款主要用于为与会者和发言者提供旅费援助。会议将持续两天，为非正式讨论和新的介绍提供充分的机会。从历史上看，这些会议为积极支持和富有成效的合作开始提供了极好的机会。其结果往往是提高学生在学校和完成博士学位后不久的关键过渡期间的成功率。由于在这些会议上通常代表不足的人口统计数据的传统参与率很高，加上会议在关键过渡时期对学生的帮助，部分支持约160名与会者是一个有效的科学投资。研究生拓扑和几何会议是一个两个-一天的活动，其中来自全国各地的研究生见面，分享他们的工作，获得经验，在会议上提出，并听取了一些最杰出的几何和拓扑学教授在全国。现在是第七个年头，会议吸引了来自美国各地的约160名研究生。威斯康星州----麦迪逊大学将主办2009年的会议，赠款资金主要用于为与会者提供旅费援助。会议由研究生提供的27个讲座，以及访问教授的两个全体会议;今年的全体会议由加州大学河滨分校的约翰·贝兹和一位杰出的几何学家提供。通过其独特的研究和讲座相结合，研究生拓扑和几何会议创造了一个支持性的环境，以鼓励未来的研究人员，并允许他们相互联系，可以导致未来的合作。此外，在会议上演讲的经验可以让演讲者提高他们的演讲技巧，并成长为更有效的沟通者。会议还鼓励不同地理区域之间的交流。参与者来自全国各地非常多样化的学校，包括所有年份的研究生，参与率通常低于人口统计数据。
