The third annual meeting of the Underrepresented Students in Topology and Algebra Research Symposium (USTARS) is to be held at Purdue University on April 19-21, 2013. The project was proposed in 2011 by a group of underrepresented graduate students in the University of Iowa Mathematics Department. The meeting is now largely run and organized by underrepresented recent math PhD. Speakers will give 30-minute research talks in various subfields of topology and algebra; these subfields include algebraic combinatorics, enumerative geometry, knot theory, and representation theory. Two distinguished graduate students will give an hour long presentation, one on a topological topic and one on an algebraic topic. Also one invited faculty member, Dr. Jennifer Vasquez of Scranton University, will give a one hour keynote address. Invited undergraduate participants will give poster presentations on algebraic and topological research topics.USTARS promotes diversity within the mathematical community by providing a platform for collaboration and professional development. Participants are exposed to a variety of current research, ideas, and results, and meet underrepresented professors and students who will become future collaborators or colleagues. The conference also promotes diversity by encouraging women and minorities to attend and give talks. Indeed, the conference organizing committee is diverse in gender, ethnicity, and educational background, and hence is well-positioned to encourage participation from a diverse group of students. The participants of the USTARS continue to influence the next generation of students by serving as much needed mentors and encourage students in the mathematical sciences at all levels to advance themselves and participate in research and conference events.

第三届代表性不足的学生在拓扑和代数研究研讨会（USTARS）年会将于2013年4月19日至21日在普渡大学举行。该项目于2011年由爱荷华州大学数学系一群代表性不足的研究生提出。会议现在主要是由代表性不足的最近的数学博士运行和组织。演讲者将在拓扑和代数的各个子领域进行30分钟的研究演讲;这些子领域包括代数组合学，枚举几何，纽结理论和表示理论。两名杰出的研究生将给出一个小时的演讲，一个关于拓扑主题，一个关于代数主题。另外一位受邀的教员，斯克兰顿大学的詹妮弗·瓦斯奎兹博士，将作一个小时的主题演讲。受邀的本科生参与者将给出代数和拓扑研究主题的海报演示。USTARS通过提供合作和专业发展的平台来促进数学界的多样性。参与者接触到各种当前的研究，想法和结果，并满足代表性不足的教授和学生谁将成为未来的合作者或同事。会议还通过鼓励妇女和少数民族参加会议和发表演讲来促进多样性。事实上，会议组织委员会在性别，种族和教育背景方面是多样化的，因此有能力鼓励来自不同学生群体的参与。USTARS的参与者继续通过担任急需的导师来影响下一代学生，并鼓励各级数学科学的学生提高自己并参加研究和会议活动。会议网址是http://www.ustars.org。
