Rice University's Future Faculty Workshop
A Workshop for Underrepresented Postdocs & Late Stage PhD students in Sciences, Engineering & Psychology
This workshop provides a unique opportunity for prospective faculty to learn from faculty leaders across science, engineering, and psychology. The informal format allows participants and faculty to interact, relax, build relationships, and learn from each other. In addition to learning invaluable skills and perspectives, workshop participants spend a day with individual departments as they are hosted by faculty at Rice University.

The 2011 CRA-W Grad Cohort Workshop (April 1-2, 2010 in Boston, MA)
The 2011 CRA-W Grad Cohort Workshop
The 2011 CRA-W Grad Cohort Workshop (April 1-2, 2010 in Boston, MA)
Application Deadline: January 15, 2011
http://www.cra-w.org/gradcohort
CRA-W is announcing the formation of the 2011 Grad Cohort for Women. Cohort activities will kick off with a workshop April 1-2, 2011 in Boston, MA, 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.

The ACM Women's Council (ACM-W), with funding from Wipro Technologies, provides support for women undergraduate or graduate students in Computer Science and related programs who wish to attend research conferences. The student does not have to present a paper at the conference she attends. High school students will also be considered for conference support. As of 2011, 20 ACM-W/Wipro scholarships will be funded annually: 10 scholarships of up to $600 will be awarded for intra-continental conference travel, and 10 scholarships of up to $1,200 will be awarded for intercontinental conference travel. ACM-W encourages the student's home department to match the scholarship award and recognize the student's achievement locally within her department. In addition, if the award is for attendance at one of several ACM special interest group conferences (SIGACCESS, SIGACT, SIGARCH, SIGCOMM, SIGCSE, SIGDA, SIGECOM, SIGSOFT, SIGGRAPH, SIGITE, SIGOPS, and SIGPLAN), the SIG will provide complementary conference registration and a mentor during the conference. Applications are evaluated in six groups each year, in order to distribute awards across a range of conferences. For application form, notification dates and more information, please visit thescholarships page.

Please help us spread the word by sending the announcement below to the undergraduate students in your department. We would appreciate you sending a broad announcement to all students in your department, AND a personal email to those students that you think would be a good fit for this program. (Personal encouragement definitely works best!)
Please consider applying as a mentor yourself, and also please forward this announcement to potentially interested faculty - male and female. (Men have served as mentors since summer 2004. In fact, both both male and female mentors are needed for CDC students.)
