Diversity Workshop and Mentoring Program

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的职业发展会议、小组会议和1-1指导会议。其目标是为处于职业生涯早期到中期的少数族裔统计学家建立关键的指导和网络关系，激励学生在统计科学领域从事职业和研究生学习，分享招聘和留住少数族裔学生、教员和非学术专业人员的最佳实践，并增加少数族裔在美国统计协会和其他专业统计学会或组织中的积极参与。研讨会和指导计划的参与者包括统计学或生物统计学专业中代表性不足的少数民族研究生；统计、数学或相关学科的优秀少数民族本科生；学术界、政府和私营部门的少数民族统计学家；少数民族院校的重点教师，为数学及相关学科的本科生提供指导和指导；以及在其所在院校的教师和/或学生招聘过程中有影响力的教师。这个项目的独特之处在于它不局限于学生，也包括早期的职业人士。它的整体方法也很独特，允许个人指导更多的初级同事，而自己则由更资深的同事指导。这些因素有助于创建一个支持和问责的社区，为所有相关的事业成功。研讨会的网站位于：http://community.amstat.org/cmis/events/dmp

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
