参加学术会议的学生可以开阔视野，增加对学科的承诺，找到榜样和导师，并获得具体的工作和学习机会。然而，参加一个人的第一次会议，特别是当仍然是一个本科生，可以是一个压倒性的经验。作为教师，我们经常专注于资助学生参加会议的采购，而不太考虑一旦他们到达那里会发生什么。本文考虑教师如何选择正确的会议和学生，准备学生参加，支持学生在会议期间，并跟进会议后。
S who attend academic conferences can broaden their horizons, increase their commitment to the discipline, find role models and mentors, and gain concrete opportunities for work and study. However, attending one’s first conference, particularly while still an undergraduate, can be an overwhelming experience. We as faculty often focus on the procurement of funding to send students to conferences, and do not much consider what will happen once they get there. This article considers how faculty can select the right conference and students, prepare students to attend, support students during the conference, and follow up after the conference.
