Spertus <spertus () mills edu> Date: Sun, 16 May 2004 20:35:08 -0700 Subject: Panel on women entering computer science (Google, June 2) Could you help me spread the word about a panel to be held at Google on nontraditional routes into computer science, especially (but not exclusively) for women? I'd be very grateful if you'd forward this to appropriate individuals or lists or give me suggestions of where to publicize it. Ellen http://anitaborg.org/events/careers_in_cs.htm The Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology and Google are pleased to co-sponsor an all-star female panel on education options for entering and re-entering Computer Science and IT on Wednesday, June 2 at 6:00pm at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, CA. Attendance is free but space is limited and you must pre-register. One of the many myths about the computer industry is that you must be young to enter the field. To the contrary, many highly successful women and men study Computer Science when well past traditional college age. Several innovative programs exist in the Bay Area for older students, with or without a diploma, who wish to study Computer Science. It's Never Too Late: Careers in Computer Science panelists include a mix of successful women who have followed this path and educators from a number of local programs. They will discuss the challenges, opportunities and strategies to entering or re-entering this field. Moderator: Nancy Ramsey, a futurist, author and entrepreneur. Panelists: * Dr. Barbara Simons, former President of the ACM, co-chair of ACM's US Public Policy Committee and retired IBM researcher. * Ms. Constance Conner, Instructor of Computer Science at City College of San Francisco and a graduate of the Mills College re-entry program. * Dr. Lizbeth Martin, Dean of Sciences at Notre Dame de Namur University (Belmont). * Ms. Radhika Malpani, Software Engineer at Google and graduate of the Berkeley re-entry program. * Dr. Ellen Spertus, Director of the Interdisciplinary Computer Science Program at Mills College (Oakland), and visiting Scientist at Google. ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
