From Heather:

The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing is a series of conferences designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. Presenters are leaders in their respective fields, representing industrial, academic and government communities. Leading researchers present their current work, while special sessions focus on the role of women in today's technology fields, including computer science, information technology, research and engineering.

Past Grace Hopper Celebrations have resulted in collaborative proposals, networking, mentoring, and increased visibility for the contributions of women in computing.

In the past we have had several students attend this conference (Beibei Yang, Mary Beth Smrtic, and Kate Tsui).

If you are interested in attending, there is still time to apply for a student scholarship

Here is the link to the scholarship Application:

Apply for a scholarship - it's easy!

Another way to cover the cost of attending would be to apply to be a Hopper (a volunteer). Applications for this will open up in July of 2010. Hopper Info

Best,
