Looking for Computer Science Undergraduate and Graduate Students

DataBase Mentoring (DB Me) Workshop at SIGMOD 2010
Location: Indianapolis, IN, USA
Date: Friday, June 11, 2010
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~rap/dbme/

We proudly announce the CRA-W/CDC DB Me(ntoring) Workshop at SIGMOD.
The main goal of this workshop is to encourage current undergraduate
and graduate students (and in particular women and underrepresented
minorities) to obtain a PhD in computer science or computer
engineering. The specific theme of this workshop is Database Systems.

This workshop will include a combination of technical and mentoring
sessions led by internationally known researchers. Technical sessions
will include hot topics and future directions in several areas of
databases and their significance to solving real world problems.
Mentoring sessions will focus on motivating and preparing students to
go to graduate school, excel in graduate school, and make a
contribution to the research and development of database technology.
All sessions will include a question and answer period.

There is no charge for this workshop. Students may apply to be
reimbursed for all reasonable travel expenses.  Any student may apply
to the workshop, but first priority will be given to women and
underrepresented minority applicants.

APPLICATIONS ARE DUE ON MARCH 21. Apply online at:
