The 2016 JSM Diversity Workshop and Mentoring Program will take place during the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM), July 31 - Aug 3, in Chicago, Illinois. It will consist of a series of interactive career development sessions and small group and 1-1 mentoring sessions. The goals are to establish critical mentoring and networking relationships for minority statisticians at early- to mid-career levels, to motivate students to pursue careers and graduate study in the statistical sciences, to share best practices for recruiting and retention of minority students, faculties, and non-academic professionals, and to increase the active participation of minorities in the American Statistical Association and other professional statistics societies or organizations.Participants in the workshop and mentoring program include underrepresented minority graduate students in statistics or biostatistics programs; top minority undergraduates in statistics, mathematics, or related disciplines; minority statisticians in academia, government, and the private sector; key faculty from minority-serving institutions who advise and mentor undergraduates in math and related disciplines; and faculty influential in the faculty and/or student recruitment processes at their home institutions. This program is unique in that it does not limit its focus to students, but also includes early career professionals in its scope. It is further unique in its holistic approach which allows individuals to mentor more junior colleagues while themselves being mentored by more senior colleagues. These elements help create a community of support and accountability for the career success of all involved.The workshop's website is located at: http://community.amstat.org/cmis/events/dmp

2016年JSM多样性研讨会和指导计划将于7月31日至8月3日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥举行的联合统计会议（JSM）期间举行。 它将包括一系列互动式职业发展会议和小组和1-1辅导会议。其目标是在职业生涯的早期至中期为少数群体统计人员建立重要的指导和网络关系，激励学生在统计科学领域追求职业和研究生学习，分享招聘和留住少数群体学生、教师和非学术专业人员的最佳做法，并促进少数群体积极参与美国统计协会和其他专业统计学会或组织。辅导计划包括统计或生物统计学课程中代表性不足的少数民族研究生;统计学，数学或相关学科的顶尖少数民族本科生;学术界，政府和私营部门的少数民族统计学家;少数民族服务机构的主要教师，他们为数学和相关学科的本科生提供建议和指导;以及在其所在机构的教师和/或学生招聘过程中有影响力的教师。该计划的独特之处在于它不局限于学生，还包括其范围内的早期职业专业人士。它的独特之处还在于它的整体方法，允许个人指导更多的初级同事，而自己则由更高级的同事指导。 这些因素有助于建立一个支持和问责制的社区，以促进所有参与者的职业成功。http://community.amstat.org/cmis/events/dmp
