This award will support student participation in the Field of Dreams Conference, to be held in St. Louis, Missouri, from November 3-5 2017. The Field of Dreams conference is organized by the National Alliance for Doctoral Studies in the Mathematical Sciences (the Alliance), an organization whose goal is to increase the number of students from backgrounds underrepresented in the mathematical sciences who earn doctorates in those fields. Approximately 200 students will attend the conference, and about 75% of those will be underrepresented minorities. More details about the conference activities can be found at the conference website: https://mathalliance.org/2017-field-of-dreams-conference/ The conference coordinates with the Alliance's Facilitated Graduate Admissions Process (F-GAP), which has helped place approximately 65 Alliance Scholars in graduate programs each of the last three years. The conference is an essential part of a program to produce a more diverse professional mathematical workforce. The conference will feature scientific talks by prominent mathematical scientists, activities that assist faculty in mentoring practices, and events that help academic departments transform their cultures to be more supportive of student success.

该奖项将支持学生参加将于2017年11月3日至5日在密苏里州圣路易斯举行的梦想领域大会。梦想领域会议是由全国数学科学博士研究联盟(The Alliance)组织的，该组织的目标是增加在数学科学领域缺乏代表性的背景下获得这些领域博士学位的学生数量。大约200名学生将参加会议，其中约75%将是代表不足的少数族裔。有关会议活动的更多细节可在会议网站上找到：https://mathalliance.org/2017-field-of-dreams-conference/会议与联盟促进研究生招生程序(F-GAP)协调，在过去三年中，F-GAP每年帮助约65名联盟学者进入研究生项目。这次会议是培养一支更加多样化的专业数学劳动力计划的重要组成部分。会议将包括著名数学科学家的科学演讲，帮助教师指导实践的活动，以及帮助学术部门转变文化，使其更支持学生成功的活动。
