2007 Grad Cohort
Opportunity for First and Second-year Graduate Students!
The Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) is now accepting applications for the 2007 Grad Cohort Program for Women. The application deadline is January 20, 2007.
Cohort activities will kick-off with a workshop to be held March 2-3, 2007 in San Francisco, CA. This workshop, funded by generous donations from Microsoft and Google, is the cornerstone of CRA-W's Grad Cohort Program. The ultimate goal of the program is to increase the ranks of senior women in computing by building and mentoring nationwide communities of women through their graduate studies.
At the Grad Cohort Workshop, we will welcome new graduate students in their first and second year of grad school into the community of computing researchers and professionals by providing them with a broad range of role models. Students from previous cohorts, will also return. All of the students will meet for two days with 10-15 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 on-going activities during their graduate careers.
Eligibility: Students in their first year of graduate school in computer science and computer engineering students who had previously attended the CRA-W Grad Cohort
