GROW 2017: Strengthening women's representation in the mathematics workforce

西北大学将为数学专业的女本科生举办一个夏季讲习班，以激励她们追求研究生院和数学研究事业。该项目是调查人员组织的第三次研讨会，旨在解决影响从本科过渡到研究生院和劳动力的妇女比例的障碍。它被建模为一种干预措施，其基础是关于本科女生在数学方面的进展的数据，记录了女生面临的障碍，以及被证明对STEM中代表性不足的少数民族学生有效的做法。该研讨会将针对学生谁表示打算坚持在该领域，谁已经完成了先进的核心数学课程。议程包括演讲者，小组讨论，分组会议和社交网络。 研讨会将促进合作，并建立学生参与者和导师之间的关系。它还将促进数学界各机构之间的同行网络。

Northwestern University will host a summer workshop for women undergraduates in mathematics to motivate them to pursue graduate school and mathematics research careers. The project is the third workshop organized by the investigators to address barriers that impact the proportion of women transitioning from undergraduate to graduate school and the workforce. It is modeled as an intervention based on data about the progression of undergraduate women students in mathematics, documented barriers that women students face, and on practices proven effective for underrepresented minority students in STEM. The workshop will target students who express an intent to persist in the field and who have completed advanced core mathematics courses. The agenda includes speakers, panels, breakout sessions, and social networking. The workshop will promote collaborations and establish relationships between student participants and mentors. It also will promote peer networks among institutions within the mathematics community.
