Abstract
IMS2021 Project Connect will be held virtually in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Each year, the PC program, housed within the IMS, hosts approximately 20 students from underrepresented groups for four days of community building and professional development. Most participants are juniors or seniors in undergraduate programs, along with a smaller cohort of first-year students in graduate programs. The groups, consistently mixed in gender and ethnicity, are provided an opportunity for direct interaction with fellow PC participants, practitioners, academics, and leaders in the field and of the MTT-S. PC has been in operation since 2014 and is sponsored jointly by the National Science Foundation and the IMS Organizing Committee. The invaluable support that PC receives from academic and industry leaders who participate in panel sessions and one¬on-¬one conversations with the students is a major reason for its success.
