Dear Professor Viray,
I hope this note finds you well. On behalf of the University of Utah chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics, Trung Chau, Peter McDonald, Vaibhav Pandey, Sandra Rodríguez, and I are organizing a workshop for early-career grad students and advanced undergraduates interested in pure mathematics. The goals of this workshop are to expose students from diverse backgrounds to potential research areas through a series of lectures and problem sessions and to foster a sense of community amongst young mathematicians. The department's NSF-RTG grant is sponsoring this conference.
We are asking if you would be able to advertise this workshop to students in your department and to encourage any that you think might be a good fit for the workshop to consider applying.
The workshop will be June 7-10, 2022, at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, UT. Funding is available for undergraduate and graduate students, with priority given to participants with backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in mathematics. The deadline to apply for funding is February 21, 2022, and registration will be open through May 1, 2022. You can find more information and an application form for funding on the conference website:
http://www.math.utah.edu/awmchapter/conference. We can also be reached by email at
bri...@math.utah.edu.
Confirmed speakers are Angela Gibnery (UPenn, Algebraic Geometry), Daniel Hernández (Kansas, Commutative Algebra), Marissa Loving (Georgia Tech, Geometric Group Theory), and Angela Robinson (NIST, Number Theory/Cryptography).
Thank you,
George Domat, on behalf of the organizers
