This project is for conference travel support and proposes to provide travel support for under-represented graduate students to attend the Networking for Networking Women (N2Women) event and SIGCOMM 2016. SIGCOMM is the flagship conference for networking, and participation in the conference provides a great opportunity for graduate students. Attending SIGCOMM not only exposes students to leading-edge research in the field, but also provides an opportunity to interact with senior researchers. Active participation can be challenging for students who are first-time attendees and know few people within the SIGCOMM community, which is especially common for under-represented students since there are few other minority participants at the conference. The N2Women event, co-located with the conference, aims to make it easier for the students to fully participate in the conference. Active participation in SIGCOMM is an effective way to expose students to new ideas and inspire students to address the tough problems in their respective fields.The requested travel funds will allow more under-represented students to attend N2Women events, participate in a high-quality technical conference, and interact with senior researchers. This requested travel funds will help foster the under-represented minority community at SIGCOMM and promote a friendly environment for minority students to develop their career. It is expected that the impact to the students careers from attending the N2Women event and the SIGCOMM conference to be substantial.

该项目用于会议旅行支持，并建议为代表性不足的研究生提供旅行支持，以参加网络妇女（N2WOMEN）活动的网络和2016年Sigcomm。Sigcomm是网络旗舰会议，并参加会议为研究生提供了一个很好的机会。参加Sigcomm不仅会使学生接受该领域的领先研究，而且还提供了与高级研究人员互动的机会。积极的参与对于初次参加者并且认识Sigcomm社区中很少有人的学生可能会有挑战，这对于代表不足的学生尤为普遍，因为会议上没有其他少数族裔参与者。与会议共同分居的N2Women活动旨在使学生更容易参加会议。积极参与Sigcomm是一种有效的方法，可以使学生了解新的想法并激发学生解决各自领域的棘手问题。要求的旅行资金将允许更多代表性的学生参加N2Women活动，参加高质量的技术会议，并与高级研究人员进行互动。这项要求的旅行资金将有助于培养Sigcomm代表不足的少数民族社区，并为少数族裔学生发展友好的环境发展职业。可以预期，参加N2WOMEN活动和Sigcomm会议的影响将是重大的。
