CRA-W is announcing the formation of the 2010 Grad Cohort for Women. Cohort activities will kick off with a workshop April 23-24, 2010 in Bellevue, WA, funded by generous donations from Microsoft and Google. This workshop is the cornerstone of CRA-W's Grad Cohort Program to increase the ranks of senior women in computing by building and mentoring nationwide communities of women during their graduate studies.
At the Grad Cohort Workshop, we will welcome new women graduate students in their first year of graduate school into the community of computing researchers and professionals by providing them with a broad range of strategies and role models. Strategies and mentoring for students in their second and third years of graduate school will also be provided. In addition, some of the returning students will be invited to describe their experiences and new insights. All of the students will meet for two days with 10 to 15 senior computing researchers and professionals who will share pertinent information on graduate school survival skills, as well as more personal information and insights about their experiences. The rewards of a research career will be emphasized. The workshop will include a mix of formal presentations and informal discussions and social events. Through this workshop, students will be able to build mentoring relationships and develop peer networks that will form the basis for ongoing activities during their graduate careers.
Eligibility:
*Women students in their first, second or third year of graduate school in computer science and computer engineering or a closely related field
Travel expenses, meals and lodging will be provided for students chosen to participate in this program.
