SUMMARY:WHPC: Diversity and Inclusion for All
DESCRIPTION:The 20th international Women in HPC workshop will be held at S
 C24 in Atlanta, GA, USA with the goal of fostering a diverse and inclusive
  HPC community. The WHPC workshop series has become the leading SC event f
 ocused on DEI topics. We aim to cultivate skills for valuing a diverse wor
 kforce and creating a welcoming environment for all. Following the worksho
 p held at SC23, we have an increased emphasis on diversity and inclusion o
 f both women and men from under represented groups. WHPC@SC24 will focus o
 n the following topics: - Improving diversity and inclusion for all in the
  HPC workforce - Building a deeper understanding of what diversity, equity
 , and inclusion means for different groups - Strategies for recruitment, r
 etention, and success - Building community through real-time networking - 
 Learning from, and valuing, different experiences and career paths We will
  also include short lightning talks by early career researchers from under
  represented groups.\n\nWomen Advancing Together in HPC through WHPC Stude
 nt Chapters\n\nIn this lightning talk, we motivate the creation of a stude
 nt-led chapter of the professional organization, Women in High-Performance
  Computing (WHPC), at one of the largest academic institutions by enrollme
 nt, Arizona State University (ASU). We believe that the strategic objectiv
 es of WHPC are best...\n\n\nVictoria Uribe, Jencey Dole, Rebecca Belshe, a
