Call For Papers: The Undergraduate Consortium at SIGKDD 2022
The Undergraduate Consortium at KDD 2022 (KDD-UC) is a new initiative that endeavors to expand and enhance the participation of undergraduate students of diverse backgrounds in research pertaining to knowledge discovery from data. Towards that goal, the KDD-UC will:

Provide an undergraduate research paper submission track which will be used to both provide critical feedback to undergraduate students on their ongoing research projects and select a subset of students that will be provided financial assistance to attend and present their work at KDD 2022.
Organize student paper and poster presentations at KDD 2022, along with participating reviewers that will provide additional feedback on talks.
Match participating students with academic and industry mentors that can provide them feedback on current or future research project ideas, along with overall career advice.
Organize a panel focused on rewards and potential challenges of different research career pathways, including graduate school/PhD, research labs, and industry.
 
The KDD-UC will accept paper submissions from only undergraduate students (advisors can be the only co-authors). Students exploring a career in data science research are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to students who identify with groups traditionally underrepresented in the field of computing and/or students who have limited resources related to graduate school at their home institutions.
