[cmath] Call for applications: "Diversity in Math": Undergraduate summer school at UBC and SFU

[Malabika Pramanik]

Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) is hosting "Diversity in 
Math", a two-week outreach summer program devoted to enhancing the 
presence of under-represented groups in STEM fields. All students from 
Canadian universities are encouraged to apply.

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. 
Travel expenses, accommodation and per diem will be provided for all 
participants.

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
