Chair’s Message

Last month we announced the first Cuban ACM-W Celebration of Women in Computing (which is happening later this month). Continuing with exciting news in 2015, we are delighted to announce a new effort, in collaboration with NCWIT and funded by Google, that will see significant growth in ACM-W student chapters. Please read the blurb and click the link to see the full announcement.

This month’s issue of Connections also includes very interesting reports from the Ohio Celebration event and from an event held jointly by ACM-W India and the Madras Management Association. Please check these out and see what our ACM-W volunteers are pursuing!

Finally, just a personal note. Last week I spoke to two CS classes at Bard High School Early College in New York City. Of the 60 total CS students, 44 are young women! That was very exciting to see. Let us know where you’ve been advocating for CS and for women in computing!
