This award provides support for a workshop and panel, Good Intentions Are Necessary but Not Sufficient: Steps Toward Best Practices in Mentoring Underrepresented Students, at the January 2011 Joint Mathematics Meeting, to be held in New Orleans. The panel will address broadening participation in the mathematical sciences. The panel is comprised of experts who share a deep commitment to ensuring diversity in the mathematical sciences. The primary goal is to discuss ideas for programs that will bring underrepresented students into mathematics. The organizers seek to attract participants from a diverse set of institutions to the workshop. An additional goal is to bring together a broad and diverse group of stakeholders and critical consumers in order to help more mathematical scientists become aware of developments in the discipline. A fundamental understanding is that good intentions are necessary but not sufficient when taking steps toward best practices in mentoring under-represented students.

该奖项为 2011 年 1 月在新奥尔良举行的联合数学会议上举办的研讨会和小组提供支持，该研讨会和小组题为“良好的意愿是必要的，但还不够：指导代表性不足的学生的最佳实践的步骤”。该小组将讨论扩大数学科学参与的问题。该小组由致力于确保数学科学多样性的专家组成。主要目标是讨论将代表性不足的学生带入数学领域的计划的想法。组织者力求吸引来自不同机构的参与者参加研讨会。另一个目标是将广泛且多样化的利益相关者和关键消费者聚集在一起，以帮助更多的数学科学家了解该学科的发展。一个基本的认识是，在采取措施指导代表性不足的学生的最佳实践时，良好的意愿是必要的，但还不够。
