[cmath] Re: "Diversity in Math": Undergraduate summer school at UBC

[Malabika Pramanik]

Applications are now open for "Diversity in Math", a two-week outreach 
summer program devoted to enhancing the presence of under-represented 
groups in STEM fields. One arm of the program is open to female-identified 
undergraduate students studying mathematics or a related discipline such 
as computer science, physics and statistics. The purpose of this program 
is to introduce the undergraduate participants to a wide variety of 
mathematics-based professions and careers, within and outside academia.

Mentorship is an important component of the program. Undergraduate 
participants are expected to interact with senior mathematicians in 
academia and industry, and also act as mentors for high school students 
around the lower mainland who are considering a STEM-based career.

Below is some basic information about the program:

Location: UBC & SFU
Dates: July 22nd - August 2nd, 2019
Website: http://www.pims.math.ca/scientific-event/190722-dmussir

The application process is ongoing. The application deadline is April 1, 2019.
