Editor's Notes
- Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper Known for many, many things, not the least of which is: - creation of the world's first compiler for a computer programming language - pioneering the implementation of standards for testing computer systems and components - helping her team of programmers to craft the first modern computer programming languages, COBOL and FORTRAN - being the namesake for the USS Hopper Navy Destroyer
- Ask Sarah to talk about her experience at the conference and as an Anita Borg scholar. 3 Anita Borg Scholars in past four years and they've been the only ones from OSU to attend Grace Hopper. We're here to get your help to solve this problem! SIG = Special Interest Group
- Talk about experiences at GHC 2010 and chances to meet up with women from all over the world
- Registration fees are not set until registration opens
- OSU students may have better chance since we would only require conference fees and potentially lodging costs

- Committee is looking for: - well written, articulate essay - goals for attending (think about the benefits we discussed earlier in the presentation – networking, job skills, interact with a community of technical women) - that you will share your experiences with others – think blogging, tweeting, photos on Flickr, etc. Think like the committee. The Anita Borg Institute is a donor funded non-profit. They need to prove that their events and programs are effective and they accomplish this by asking attendees to share their experiences.

- It is definitely worth personalizing the automatically generated email.
