The first regional celebration of Women in Computing for the upper midwest will take place on ** February 12-13, 2010 ** on the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota. This regional meeting, modeled after the Grace Hopper celebration, will provide an opportunity for women to explore computing, to network with other women from academia, industry and government, and to create friendship among women in the region who share the same interest and passion for computing. The celebration is part of a nationwide effort to address the alarming decline of women choosing computer science professions. Visit http://minnewic.cs.umn.edu/index.html for more details. Activities will include posters, research talks, panels, career mentoring, and fun. Please put this event on your calendar and inform your students of this opportunity. Deadlines for submissions, registration, and scholarship applications will be announced soon. Thank you for any help you can provide in publicizing this event to your students. - maria ------------------------------------------------------------------ Maria Gini, Professor and Associate Head Computer Science and Engineering, University of Minnesota 200 Union St SE, Room 4-192, Minneapolis, MN 55455 phone 612-625-5582 fax 612-625-0572 http://www.cs.umn.edu/~gini ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Ted Pedersen http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse
