Four of our students attended the prestigious Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing from Oct. 2-5 in Minneapolis. The annual conference brings the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. Attending were Marta Aleszewicz, a junior computer science software and mathematics major from Poland; Katarzyna Plawiak, a sophomore computer science and international business major from Poland; Saron Yifru, a sophomore computer science major from Ethiopia; and Maria Glenski, a senior mathematics major from Pequot Lakes, Minn.
The Grace Hopper Celebration, the world’s largest gathering of women in computing, provided our students with excellent educational and networking opportunities. Glenski received a scholarship to attend from the National Science Foundation; Aleszewicz received a scholarship from Amazon; Yifru received a scholarship from Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology; and Plawiak was funded by the SMU Math and Computer Science Department.
