The Math Alliance April newsletter notes: There's a call for signups for the Diversity Mentoring Program at JSM 2017 in Baltimore, Maryland, July 30, 2017- August 2, 2017.
Raising up the next generation of statistical thought leaders takes commitment and participation! We are here to help!
The 2017 JSM Diversity Mentorship Program (DMP) brings historically-underrepresented minority (African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American) graduate, undergraduate, post-doctoral scholars, and junior professionals together with senior-level statisticians and faculty in academia, government, and the private sector in a structured program at the Joint Statistical Meetings.
The program will include small group discussions and one-on-one meetings of mentor-protégé pairs during the conference.
The 2017 agenda is currently being developed; however, the agendas for the 2016 and 2015 DMP meetings show the types of programming that our participants have typically found to be very helpful.
We anticipate that the 2017 agenda will include a Sunday dinner and morning activities for Monday, July 31, 2017 through Wednesday, August 2, 2017.
Applicants
The application period has opened and a link to the application is available on the website.
Preference will be given for applications received by May 31, 2017 and applicants will be informed of their status by mid-June 2017.
