[ACM-W] Fwd: Announcing the 2008 Google Workshop for Women Engineers - Apply by January 22, 2008

[Bettina Bair]

I'd like to add my encouragement to Hui's.  A couple years ago, there were
many women from OSU who got scholarships to attend this event.  Everyone who
went said that they learned a lot, and were treated very well.

Remember, as a woman in computing, you are a highly sought-after and scarce
resource.  Take advantages of every special opportunity that you can.
