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。这次会议是为期5天的研究和专业发展研讨会，针对几何小组理论，几何学和拓扑结构的研究生。 它的主要目标是a）将研究生暴露于拓扑，b）建立他们的沟通，网络和分享问题的能力的广泛研究，c）为该职业的必要但通常未知的方面提供指导。 在10位导师的指导下，大约有50名研究生将参加，他们来自各种职业阶段，代表了几何学和拓扑内的广泛主题，包括接触和象征性拓扑，3个manifolds，双曲线几何，小组动作，小组动作和复杂的动态。会议为参与者，尤其是来自代表性不足的人的参与者提供了许多工具，这些工具将帮助他们在研究生院及其他地区获得最高级别的科学家的成功。对于许多学生来说，TSW是他们参加的第一次会议，并在其中呈现自己的成绩。该研讨会旨在促进这一经验（例如，我们的第一个专业发展会议是对会议的介绍以及如何最好地从中受益）。 目的是在学生和建立社区之间建立信心和研究潜力。 此处所述的技能通常不在研究生院教授，对来自少数群体的学生来说可能是不成比例的。研讨会的专业发展和研究方面是双方的，导师在这两个领域提供了指导。 该研讨会包括有关网络和礼节的结构性会议，工作申请流程，沟通技巧以及有关职业道路的小组讨论（这还涉及来自NSA，NSA，Amazon，Google和私立高中组织的数学家）。 导师还会为良好的沟通建模和介绍其研究领域（故意选择）和相关问题，并向从事研究职业的学生进行研究。 有效的沟通是一个主要主题：两个晚上的会议专门用于小组的讲习班演讲；最终演讲是由出席者录像和批评。会议的网站是http：//tsw.gatech.eduthis Award反映了NSF的法定任务，并且使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
