To coincide with the 2009 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, held Sept. 30 to Oct. 3 in Tucson, Ariz., the College celebrated its own women by sending a strong contingent to the conference and promoting them via the CoC website and social media outlets.

Professor Ellen Zegura (CS) represented the faculty at the conference, which was themed "Creating Technology for Social Good." Zegura was joined by several College graduate students, including Erika Poole (IC), Chaitrali Amrutkar (CS) and Nova Ahmed (CS). Office of Outreach, Enrollment and Community staff members Meredith Goodman and Jennifer Whitlow accompanied 11 computing undergraduates to the conference: Donna Yoo, Dawn Finney, Victoria Au, Katie Collins, Angela Mingione, Candis Pham, Linda Huynh, Candace Mitchell, Jessica Watson, Mansi Sharma, Joy Buolamwini.
