CRA-W Career Mentoring Workshops<br />

The Computer Research Association’s Committee on the Status <strong>of</strong> Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) is an action oriented organization<br />

dedicated to increasing the number <strong>of</strong> women participating in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) research and education at<br />

all levels.<br />

In addition to increasing the number <strong>of</strong> women involved, CRA-W also seeks to increase the degree <strong>of</strong> success women experience and to<br />

provide a forum for addressing problems that <strong>of</strong>ten fall disproportionately within women’s domain. CRA-W is hopeful that the committee<br />

activities will also have a positive impact for other underrepresented groups in CSE and is committed to improving the working environment<br />

for Computer Scientists and Engineers <strong>of</strong> both genders.<br />

Sessions Especially for Undergrads (Regency Ballroom VII)<br />
