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暑期研讨会，以激励她们攻读研究生和数学研究职业。该项目是调查人员组织的第三次讲习班，目的是解决影响从本科生过渡到研究生的妇女比例和劳动力的障碍。它被作为一种干预措施，其基础是关于本科生数学进步的数据，记录在案的女学生面临的障碍，以及在STEM中被证明对代表性不足的少数族裔学生有效的做法。研讨会的对象将是那些表达了在这一领域坚持下去的意向并已完成高级核心数学课程的学生。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，并在学员和导师之间建立关系。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.
