This workshop will bring together world leaders in programming languages research and teaching from academia and industry to provide (a) technical sessions on cutting-edge PL research and (b) mentoring sessions on how to prepare for a research career. The workshop will help students imagine how they might contribute to our research community.</span></div><br class=""><div class="" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We especially encourage women and underrepresented minority students, and people with disabilities to attend PLMW.</span></div><br class=""><div class="" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This workshop is part of the activities surrounding POPL, the Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages, and takes place the day before the main conference. One goal of the workshop is to make the POPL conference more accessible to newcomers. We hope that participants will stay through the entire conference.</span></div><br class=""><div class="" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Because physical travel to the workshop location this year may be more difficult for some, there is also an option to attend PLMW remotely. Remote participants of PLMW will be able to view online videos of the workshop talks, access the PLMW Slack channel, and sign up for virtual mentoring sessions with experienced researchers.</span></div><br class=""><div class="" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A number of sponsors (listed below) have generously donated scholarship funds for qualified students to attend PLMW. These scholarships can cover expenses (airfare, hotel, and registration fees) for attendance at both the workshop and the POPL conference.</span></div><br class=""><div class="" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Students attending this year will get one year free student membership of SIGPLAN, unless they prefer to opt out during their application. </span></div><br class=""><div class="" style="line-height: 1.656; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span class="" style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The workshop registration is open to all.
