networking sites; and more is now available to graduating students and all
ACM members. Please visit the Online Resources for Graduating Students

*Upcoming ACM Student Research Competitions Call for Submissions*
ACM Student Research Competitions <http://www.acm.org/src/> take place at
ACM-sponsored conferences throughout the year. Students present their papers
in poster sessions to compete for the Grand Finals prizes, and network with
luminaries from academia and industry. Hypertext
2008<http://www.sigweb.org/ht08/competition.html>is the next
conference accepting submissions. The deadline is
*April 30, 2008*. Learn about more competitions on the SRC submissions
page<http://www.acm.org/src/submissions.html>.


*ACM-W Student Scholarships for Attendance at Research Conferences*
A program launched by ACM's Committee on Women in Computing
(ACM-W<http://women.acm.org/>)
provides support for undergraduate or graduate women students in Computer
Science programs who are interested in attending research conferences. It is
not required that the student present a paper at the conference she attends.
High school students will also be considered for conference support.
Initially, up to 12 scholarships of up to $500 each will be awarded
annually. ACM-W also encourages the student's home department to match the
scholarship award and recognize the student's achievement locally within her
department. Applications will be evaluated in four groups each year, in
order to distribute awards across a range of conferences, with two to three
awards given each quarter. For application form, notification dates and more
information, please visit the scholarships
page<http://women.acm.org/scholarships.html>.


*Student Volunteers Needed to Help Teach High School CS Teachers*
The Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA <http://csta.acm.org/>) is
seeking Computer Science college students proficient in Java and other new
programming languages and environments to train high school CS teachers in
these technologies. Java Engagement for Teacher Training
(JETT<http://jett.acm.org/>)
and Teacher Enrichment in Computer Science (TECS <http://tecs.acm.org/>) are
one- and two-day workshops for high school teachers, hosted by college and
university CS students and faculty. Hosting a JETT or TECS workshop is a
great volunteer experience for individual student ACM members, as well as
student chapters. For more information please contact Gail
Chapman<coordinator at csta.org>,
the JETT and TECS workshop coordinator.


*ACM-W Ambassador's Report: Memory of Anita Borg Inspires Turkish Chapter*
Turkish ACM-W <http://women.acm.org/> Ambassador Reyyan Ayfer recounts how
she first became involved with ACM-W, and her personal correspondence with
pioneer and women's advocate Anita Borg, which inspired the formation of the
Bilkent Women in Computing ACM-W student chapter. Read about her experiences
and her fascinating country in ACM-W's News Blog<http://acmwnews.blogspot.com/>.
