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.

该项目旨在提供会议差旅支持，并提议为代表性不足的研究生提供差旅支持，以参加网络女性网络 (N2Women) 活动和 SIGCOMM 2016。SIGCOMM 是网络领域的旗舰会议，参加会议提供了良好的机会研究生的机会。参加 SIGCOMM 不仅让学生接触到该领域的前沿研究，还提供了与资深研究人员互动的机会。对于第一次参加会议且在 SIGCOMM 社区内认识的人很少的学生来说，积极参与可能具有挑战性，这对于代表性不足的学生来说尤其常见，因为会议上几乎没有其他少数族裔参与者。 N2Women 活动与会议同期举行，旨在让学生更轻松地充分参与会议。积会议，并与资深研究人员互动。所请求的差旅资金将有助于在 SIGCOMM 培养代表性不足的少数族裔社区，并为少数族裔学生发展职业生涯营造一个友好的环境。预计参加 N2Women 活动和 SIGCOMM 会议将对学生的职业生涯产生重大影响。
