Dissemination of the Inroads (SIGCSE Bulletin) Special Issue on "Women and Computing"

impagliazzo，约翰霍夫斯特拉大学该奖项为ACM SIGCSE公报特刊的准备和有针对性的传播提供了部分支持——这是一个关于“女性与计算”的特刊。女性在计算机领域的代表性明显不足，这笔资金支持向参加全国教育计算机会议（NECC）的K-12教师传播特刊，K-12教师代表了与会者的很大一部分。这些特殊的听众被认为是非常重要的，因为他们可以帮助学生在相对较早的年龄就了解这个领域的机会。此外，预期向这一特定群体提供这一特刊，从长远来看可能开始有助于减轻妇女在这一领域任职人数不足的问题。会议上的志愿者从ACM展台向K-12教师分发免费的问题。SIGCE通讯的总编辑和两位ACM-W联合主席负责监督传播。该特刊的其他版本将分发给大学系主任、Grace Hopper计算机女性庆典的与会者、ACM特别兴趣小组（SIG）主席和一些ACM赞助的会议。后者的传播工作是在ACM执行委员会和一些其他ACM团体（包括ACM理事会、ACM- w和SIG项目基金）的支持下进行的。

EIA 0226221Impagliazzo, JohnHofstra UniversityThis award provides partial support for preparation and targeted dissemination of a special issue of the ACM SIGCSE Bulletin--a special issue on "Women and Computing". Women are significantly underrepresented in computing and this funding supports dissemination of the special issue to K-12 teachers attending the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) at which K-12 teachers represent a large segment of the attendees. This particular audience is believed to be very important in helping to inform students at a relatively early age of the opportunities in this field. Further, it is expected that the availability of this special issue to this particular group may have the potential in the long term to begin to help alleviate the problem of underrepresentation of women in this field. Volunteers at the conference disseminate the free issues to the K-12 teachers from the ACM exhibit booth. The Editor-in-Chief of the SIGCE newsletter and the two ACM-W Co-chairs oversee the dissemination. Other copies of the special issue are being distributed to university department chairs, to attendees at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, to ACM Special Interest Group (SIG) Chairs, and to a number of ACM sponsored conferences. These latter dissemination efforts are being carried out with support from the ACM Executive Committee and a number of other ACM groups, including the ACM Council, ACM-W, and the SIG Project Fund.
