Chair’s Message

Welcome to ACM-W-Connections, our updated newsletter. In each issue we will bring you updates about ACM-W programs (celebrations, scholarships and awards, and chapters) as well as contributed articles and announcements of upcoming events. In this first issue you’ll find news from India and Europe, and our regular AskJudy column, by Judy Olson, the 2011 ACM-W Athena Lecturer. We also have contributions from Jaime Teevan about child-friendly conferences and from Kimberly Oakes about her process of applying to graduate school. Please let us know what you think of ACM-W-Connections and what sorts of material you’d like to see here. I’d like to thank Yuqing Melanie Wu who has led our effort to revamp our website and set up this newsletter infrastructure, and thank Katie Siek and Sarah Loos who continue to solicit contributed articles and work with the authors. What you’ll be seeing in each issue is the result of the efforts of those three.
