Congratulations Kim Hazelwood, the 2009 recipient of the CRA-W Borg Early Career Award!

Dr. Hazelwood is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science in the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Virginia.

The Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) is pleased to announce the BECA (Borg Early Career Award). The award honors the late Anita Borg, who was an early member of CRA-W and an inspiration for her commitment in increasing the participation of women in computing research.

The annual award will be given to a woman in computer science and/or engineering who has made significant research contributions and who has contributed to her profession, especially in the outreach to women. This award recognizes work in areas of academia and industrial/government research labs that has had a positive and significant impact on advancing women in the computing research community and is targeted at women that are relatively early in their careers (at most 8 years post-PhD1).

Nominations should not exceed two pages in length and should describe the contributions on which the nomination is based. Letters in support of the nomination are welcome but not required. However, a C.V. or bio sketch should be attached with information such as education, job history, top 10 publications in the last 5 years and relevant outreach activities (not to exceed two pages).

Send nominations, questions, or comments electronically to craw_awards[at]cra.org (in plain ASCII text or as a pdf or Word attachment). Alternatively, mail or fax to: CRA-W Borg Award Committee, Computing Research Association, 1100 17th St. NW, Suite 507, Washington, DC 20036-4632.
