FACULTY: Do you need travel funds to send your female graduate student to a quality technical conference? STUDENTS:
Are you looking to expand your professional network, get experience
with event organization and obtain travel funds to go to a premier
conference? N^2
Women (Networking Networking Women) announces the continued support of
our N^2 Women Student Fellowships. Funding for these fellowships has
generously been provided by HP Labs, Microsoft Research, and SIGMOBILE.
These awards will partially cover a student's travel cost (up to $500)
to a meeting where an N^2 Women event will be held. In exchange, the
student must help organize the N^2 Women meeting. The benefit of doing
the organization, in addition to the travel funds, is for the student to
connect with the organizers of the conference who are, typically,
leaders in the research field. We will arrange for a faculty or research
member of N^2 Women to assist/mentor the student in this task. To apply for a fellowship, please see: http://committees.comsoc.org/n2women/
and click the Fellowships link. We are particularly interested in
students organizing events at the following venues, with deadlines for
applying for a fellowship as shown. 2/1/11 INFOCOM

Please pass this information along to all female graduate students who may be interested! Sincerely, Katia Jaffrès-Runser and Sami Rollins Networking
Networking Women (N^2 Women) is a discipline-specific community for
researchers in the communications and networking research fields. The
main goal of N^2 Women is to foster connections among the
under-represented women in computer networking and related research
fields. N^2 Women allows women to connect with other women who share the
same research interests, who attend the same conferences, who face the
same career hurdles, and who experience the same obstacles. For more
information or to join, please see: www.comsoc.org/n2women. N^2 Women is an ACM SIGMOBILE program that is supported by the IEEE Communications Society, Microsoft Research and HP Labs.
