The Topology Students Workshop (TSW) will be held at Georgia Institute of Technology during June 6-10, 2022. This conference is a 5-day research and professional development workshop for graduate students in the fields of geometric group theory, geometry, and topology. Its primary goals are to a) expose graduate students to a wide range of current research in topology, b) build their communication, networking, and problem-sharing skills, and c) give guidance on necessary but typically untaught aspects of the profession. Approximately 50 graduate students will participate, guided by 10 mentors, who come from a wide range of career stages and represent a broad array of topics within geometry and topology including contact and symplectic topology, 3-manifolds, hyperbolic geometry, group actions, and complex dynamics. The conference provides the participants, especially those from underrepresented groups, with many tools that will help them to succeed as scientists at the highest levels, in graduate school and beyond.For many of the students, the TSW is the first conference they attend and at which they present their own results. The workshop is designed to facilitate this experience (for instance, our first professional development session is an introduction to conferences and how best to benefit from them). The goal is to build confidence and research potential among students, as well as to build community. The skills addressed here are not typically taught in grad school and can be disproportionately beneficial to students from minority groups, as indicated from responses from participants in previous iterations of the program. The professional development and research sides of the workshop run in tandem, with mentors giving guidance in both areas. The workshop includes structured sessions on networking and etiquette, the job application process, communication skills, and a panel discussion on career paths (which also involves mathematicians from organizations such as NSA, Amazon, Google, and private high schools). Mentors also give research talks, both to model good communication and introduce their research areas (deliberately chosen broadly) and relevant problems to students who are embarking on a research career. Effective communication is a major theme: two evening sessions are devoted to workshopping presentations in small groups; the final presentations are videotaped and critiqued by those in attendance.

拓扑学学生研讨会 (TSW) 将于 2022 年 6 月 6 日至 10 日在佐治亚理工学院举行。本次会议是为几何群论、几何和拓扑领域的研究生举办的为期 5 天的研究和专业发展研讨会。 其主要目标是：a）让研究生接触当前拓扑学领域的广泛研究，b）培养他们的沟通、网络和问题共享技能，以及 c）就该专业必要但通常未受过教育的方面提供指导。 大约 50 名研究生将在 10 名导师的指导下参加，他们来自各个职业阶段，代表几何和拓扑领域的广泛主题，包括接触和辛拓扑、3 流形、双曲几何、群作用和复数动力学。该会议为参与者，特别是那些来自代表性不足群体的参与者提供了许多工具，帮助他们在研究生院及以后成为最高水平的科学家取得成功。对于许多学生来说，TSW 是他们参加和参加的第一个会议。他们展示了自己的结果。该研讨会旨在促进这种体验（例如，我们的第一次专业发展会议是介绍会议以及如何最好地从中受益）。 目标是建立学生的信心和研究潜力，以及建立社区。 这里讨论的技能通常不会在研究生院教授，并且对于少数群体的学生来说可能特别有益，正如该计划之前迭代的参与者的反应所表明的那样。研讨会的专业发展和研究部分同时进行，导师在这两个领域提供指导。 该研讨会包括关于网络和礼仪、工作申请流程、沟通技巧的结构化会议，以及关于职业道路的小组讨论（其中还包括来自美国国家安全局、亚马逊、谷歌和私立高中等组织的数学家）。 导师还进行研究讲座，既是为了建立良好的沟通氛围，也是为了向即将从事研究职业的学生介绍他们的研究领域（广泛地精心选择）和相关问题。 有效沟通是一个主要主题：两个晚上的会议专门以小组形式进行研讨会演示；最终的演讲会被录像并受到与会者的批评。会议的网站是 http://tsw.gatech.edu 该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
