Workforce Panel and Workshop Joint Mathematical Meeting - January 2011

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讨论会提供了支持，良好的意图是必要的，但还不够：指导代表不足的学生的最佳做法的步骤。该小组将讨论扩大对数学科学的参与问题。该小组由专家组成，他们都坚定地致力于确保数学科学的多样性。主要目标是讨论将未被充分代表的学生带入数学的项目的想法。组织者试图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而多样的利益相关者和关键消费者群体聚集在一起，以帮助更多的数学科学家了解该学科的发展。一个基本的理解是，在采取步骤指导代表不足的学生的最佳实践时，良好的意图是必要的，但还不够。

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.
