This project is for conference travel support and proposes to provide travel support for under-represented graduate students to attend the Networking for Networking Women (N2Women) event and SIGCOMM 2016. SIGCOMM is the flagship conference for networking, and participation in the conference provides a great opportunity for graduate students. Attending SIGCOMM not only exposes students to leading-edge research in the field, but also provides an opportunity to interact with senior researchers. Active participation can be challenging for students who are first-time attendees and know few people within the SIGCOMM community, which is especially common for under-represented students since there are few other minority participants at the conference. The N2Women event, co-located with the conference, aims to make it easier for the students to fully participate in the conference. Active participation in SIGCOMM is an effective way to expose students to new ideas and inspire students to address the tough problems in their respective fields.The requested travel funds will allow more under-represented students to attend N2Women events, participate in a high-quality technical conference, and interact with senior researchers. This requested travel funds will help foster the under-represented minority community at SIGCOMM and promote a friendly environment for minority students to develop their career. It is expected that the impact to the students careers from attending the N2Women event and the SIGCOMM conference to be substantial.

该项目用于提供会议差旅支助，并提议为任职人数不足的研究生提供差旅支助，以参加妇女网络(N2Women)活动和2016年度妇女网络论坛。SIGCOMM是网络的旗舰会议，参加会议为研究生提供了一个很好的机会。参加SIGCOMM不仅让学生接触到该领域的前沿研究，还提供了与资深研究人员互动的机会。对于第一次参加会议的学生来说，积极参与可能是一项挑战，他们在SIGCOMM社区中认识的人很少，这对代表不足的学生来说尤其常见，因为参加会议的其他少数族裔参与者很少。N2Women活动与大会共设，旨在让学生更容易全面参与会议。积极参与SIGCOMM是让学生接触新想法并激励学生解决各自领域难题的有效方式。申请的旅行资金将允许更多未被充分代表的学生参加N2Women活动，参加高质量的技术会议，并与高级研究人员互动。这笔申请的旅行资金将有助于培养SIGCOMM代表不足的少数族裔社区，并促进少数族裔学生发展事业的友好环境。预计参加N2Women活动和SIGCOMM会议对学生职业生涯的影响将是巨大的。
