Dear colleagues,


I hope this note finds you well. On behalf of the University of Utah chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics, Trung Chau, Jenna Judd, Madison Pearce, 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. You will receive a paper copy of the conference poster soon. We would appreciate it if you would place it somewhere visible in your department.


The workshop will be July 10-12, 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 May 1, 2024, and registration will be open through June 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 [log in to unmask].


Confirmed speakers are Kim Ruane (Tufts University), Rehka Thomas (University of Washington), and Ila Varma (University of Toronto).


Thank you,


Anne Fayolle, on behalf of the organizers


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1800 mathematicians worldwide. We strongly recommend that announcements are mostly or all in plain text (i.e. without html formatting, which reportedly can create unexpected results on different devices and email systems), with a link provided to a nicely formatted web page.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask].

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. Announcements of individual talks and department seminars will also be rejected; https://mathseminars.org is a good option to announce for such talks. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement to [log in to unmask]. The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference announcement will also begin with that statement. In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement.

You are strongly encouraged to provide essential information such as dates and location near the top of the body of your message, and not require someone to visit your conference link to find it.

Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct. Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. After submitting an announcement you may receive a message asking you to confirm your submission. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator. If you do not see your announcement within 48 hours, please check the archives to see whether it was actually posted (i.e. you somehow missed seeing the post or are not subscribed with your current email address). If the announcement is not in the archive, search for a confirmation message that you may have missed (from listserv.utk.edu). If none of this solves the mystery, send a message to [log in to unmask].

The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
