CRA-W is hosting Career Mentoring Workshops at Grace Hopper 2011
CMW-R and CMW-L was co-located with FCRC 2011 in San Jose, CA in June 2011. Click here for more information.
The CMW-E workshop “Managing the Academic Career for Women Faculty in Undergraduate Computing Programs” was held on Wednesday, March 9, co-located with the SIGCSE 2011 conference in Dallas. Click here for more information. Click here for a copy of the slides used in all presentations.
Women often find themselves a minority in their own departments or research unit, typically have few female colleagues and role models, and may be concerned about their potential for success. CRA-W-sponsored Career Mentoring Workshops (CMW) bring junior researchers and educators together with women already established in their fields. The established professionals provide practical information, advice, and support to their younger colleagues. Workshops are generally co-located with major professional meetings, providing many attendees with the opportunity to attend technical talks and make contacts in their research areas.
Career Mentoring Workshops are organized into three tracks, to better serve the needs of different groups of early-career researchers. The CMW-R track targets female junior faculty in research universities and senior PhD students interested in research faculty positions. The CMW-E track targets female junior faculty in teaching colleges and senior PhD students interested in undergraduate education. The CMW-L track serves female researchers in industry and government research labs, and senior graduate students interested in research lab positions.
CMW-R and CMW-L Workshops are held in association with major conferences. Past workshops have been co-located with the FCRC and Supercomputing conferences. A previous workshop took place July 11-12, 2009 in Pasadena, CA, in association with IJCAI 2009. For more information, click here.
CMW-E Workshops are held in association with SIGSCE, ACM's Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education. A previous workshop took place March 4, 2009 in Chatanooga, TN in association with SIGCSE 2009. More information about the workshop can be found here.
