NSF's Opportunities for Women in Computing Research Symposium

为了提高社会对增加妇女参与CISE学科的必要性的兴趣和认识，计算机研究协会（CRA）得到资助，为200名本科生和研究生举办了一天一晚的专题讨论会。国家科学基金会CISE理事会制定了一个目标，即到2000年，CISE学科的研究生中将有45%是女性。本次研讨会是CISE推荐的一系列活动之一，将于5月22日举行。和23日。这些学生将在CISE领域学习，并由其所在机构提名。CRA是美国和加拿大计算机科学和计算机工程学术部门以及从事基础计算研究的工业实验室的协会。CRA的使命是代表和通知计算研究社区，并支持和促进其利益。Weingarten博士是CRA的执行董事。

In an effort to gain the community's interest in and awareness of the need to increase the participation of women in CISE disciplines, the Computing Research Association (CRA) is being funded to present a one day and one evening symposium for 200 undergraduate and graduate female students. The National Science Foundation's CISE Directorate has established a goal that 45% of graduate students in CISE disciplines will be women by the year 2000. The symposium, which is one of a number of activities being recommended by CISE, is to be held on May 22nd. and 23rd., 1993 in Washington, D.C. The students will be studying in CISE areas and will be nominated by their institutions. The CRA is an association of U.S. and Canadian academic departments of Computer Science and Computer Engineering, and Industrial Laboratories engaging in basic computing research. The mission of CRA is to represent and inform the computing research community and to support and promote its interests. Dr. Weingarten is the Executive Director of CRA.
