04/30/2012 - Thank You!

As the semester comes to a close and Mairin takes on her role as the new President of Women in Computing, I wanted to make one last post to thank you all for helping to make this year so great.

I'm incredibly proud of all that our group has accomplished this year, with highlights including getting an NCWIT Student Seed Fund grant, sending 12 (TWELVE!) girls to Portland to attend Grace Hopper, holding one of the most successful Technology Workshops to date, collaborating with ACM on social events, fostering a connection between CS girls at MSU and Kalamazoo college, and welcoming many new members and friends into our organization.

It has truly been an honor to lead a group of such passionate and intelligent people, and I feel confident leaving this organization knowing that its future could not be brighter.

I love you all - thanks for an amazing year!
