[RUME] MPWR 2016 Update

[MPWR Seminar]

Dear RUME community,

I would like to share a quick update about the current state of MPWR 2016.
The leadership team has submitted a proposal for 3 years of funding for
MPWR seminars and research related to MPWR. It is looking VERY positive
that we will get funding, but I cannot yet say that we will with 100%
certainty. In the unlikely event that we do not get funding, I would love
to have an informal seminar with whomever can join on their own dime.

So, as far as booking flights, if you can wait a little, or book with an
airline that is flexible (like Southwest) that would be best. If you are
eager to book now, then there will be some risk involved since I cannot say
one way or another if we will have a full MPWR seminar this year. Please
let me know if you have any questions, and I will share any news I have
once I have some!

(For those new to RUME or who are otherwise not familiar with MPWR, MPWR
stands for Mentoring and Partnerships for Women in RUME. With generous
support from NSF, we have held a one-day seminar on the Wednesday before
RUME (and in the same location as RUME) for the past two years. These
seminars have connected women at all career stages within RUME and have
featured wonderful talks by leaders in and out of our community. If you
would like more information about MPWR in general, please ask any of us):
