Thinking Differently

A nice quote from a student at CMU:

"As a woman in CS, I know that thinking differently can be nerve-wracking. Keep in mind that seeing things from different perspectives is a valuable asset."

--Leah Miller, Class of 2002

Part of the Women @ SCS site at CMU, which has as its mission "to create, encourage, and support women's academic, social and professional opportunities in the computer sciences and to promote the breadth of the field and its diverse community."

CMU has been a leader in innovative programs to increase women's participation and success in computer-related studies. Lenore Blum, one of the major players in CMU's efforts to recruit and retain women, will be here at RIT on December 5th to give a talk on how and why CMU has increased the number of women in the program.
