Greetings,
Several of the opportunities listed below have student scholarships.
The listings are in order by application deadlines, by the way.
Information of this nature is sent to the members of the Empowering
Leadership: Computing Scholars of Tomorrow Alliance (EL Alliance),
which is supported by the National Science Foundation.  The EL
Alliance is a national network of individuals and institutions
committed to the success of minority scholars, and offers information
about opportunities, mentoring, conference participation, and much
more.
If you're already a member of the EL Alliance, wonderful! If not, and
you'd like to join, visit the Website below.  General messages of this
nature will not be sent to the broader community on a regular basis.
That is, if you want to continue to receive updates, and also learn
more about the EL Alliance, sign up at the Website!
All best,
Ann Redelfs, ELA Co-Program Manager

Conferences, Workshops, Summer Programs - Opportunities

SC09 Broader Engagement (BE) Program
Portland, OR
November 14 - 20, 2009
Applications will be accepted through August 3, 2009
https://submissions.supercomputing.org/http://sc09.supercomputing.org/files/beflyer.pdf
http://sc09.supercomputing.org/?pg=broadeng.html
This program is aimed at increasing the involvement of individuals who
have been traditionally underrepresented in the HPC field. For SC09,
the Broader Engage-ment, Education, and Student Volunteer Programs
have joined forces as SC Communities to create some special
opportunities!

SC09 Education Summer Workshops
 http://sc-education.org/
Register Now for Summer 2009
Includes a full slate of week-long workshops covering computational
subjects such as computational thinking, physics, biology, chemistry,
engineering, parallel and cluster computing, and more. The SC
Education Program is open to undergraduate and graduate educators in
all fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics,
humanities, arts and social sciences, especially those from
minority-serving institutions. The summer workshops are also open to
high school teachers collaborating with college faculty. Faculty are
encouraged to mentor and support undergraduate and graduate students
by including them as part of their team.

CRA-W/CDC CHiPS Mentoring Workshop
NCSA/Illinois
July 25-27th, 2009
Application Deadline: May 11th, 2009
http://www.cis.udel.edu/chips-mentoring-workshop/
The purpose of this mentoring workshop is to introduce students to
advanced processor architectures and software systems that the
scientific community is using to accelerate computationally demanding
applications. However, the main goal of the workshop is to encourage
women and minoirity computer science or computer engineering students
to obtain a Ph.D. We are specifically interested in attracting
undergraduate students (especially sophomores, juniors, and seniors)
or graduate students in departments that only offer a master's degree.

Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering Summer School
2009: Scaling to Petascale
Aug. 3-7, 2009
Application Deadline: May 18, 2009
http://www.greatlakesconsortium.org/events/scaling
This Virtual School summer school will provide graduate students with
knowledge of the challenges, opportunities, techniques, and evolving
resources for scaling science and engineering codes onto petascale
computing systems. High-definition streaming video of the course will
enable students to participate from multiple locations, including the
University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing
Applications (NCSA), the National Institute for Computational Sciences
(NICS) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the University of Michigan, and
Louisiana State University. Participating students will have access to
high-performance computing systems at NCSA, NICS, and the Texas
Advanced Computing Center.
Virtual School of Computational Science and Engineering Summer School
2009: Many-Core Processors for Science and Engineering Applications
Aug. 10-14, 2009
Application Deadline: May 18, 2009
http://www.greatlakesconsortium.org/events/manycore
Students will be provided with knowledge and hands-on experience in
developing applications software for many-core processors, such as
general purpose graphics processing units (GP-GPUs). High-definition
streaming video of the course will enable students to participate from
multiple locations, including the University of Illinois' National
Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), the University of
Michigan, Ohio State University and the University of Illinois,
Chicago.
The Grace Hopper Conference Scholarship
Application deadline: May 27, 2009 (Midnight CDT).
http://www.gracehopper.org/2009/participate/student-scholarships
You will be asked to submit an essay, résumé/CV, GPA (grade point
average) & class rank and letter of reference (to be uploaded by your
reference). Please note that only undergraduate and graduate students
are required to submit a letter of reference

The Latinas Learning to Lead (LLL) Summer Youth Program
The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C.
June 19-27, 2009
Deadline to Apply: May 27th, 2009 via email: NHLI at nhli.org
http://cahsi.cs.utep.edu/OPPORTUNITIES/Students/tabid/119/Default.aspx
LLL promotes and fosters the development of young college-age Latina
leaders through leadership training and technical and practical
experience, during a one-week comprehensive curriculum program. Each
year, NHLI selects 22 young women from across the country to
participate in the program that includes sessions on resume writing
and interviewing skills, effective communication and presentation
skills, public policy issues affecting the Latino community, and other
professional and leadership development topics including a Gallup
StrengthsFinder session at Gallup University, financial literacy and a
technology component.

Introduction to Computational Thinking
Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University
July 5-11, 2009.
http://sc-education.org/workshops/schedule.php
Application Deadline: June 14, 2009
This workshop is aimed at increasing the involvement of individuals
who have been traditionally underrepresented in the HPC field. The
purpose of this workshop is to expose participants to and inspire them
with new techniques, teaching materials, and applications to use
computational models in the undergraduate curriculum. By bringing
faculty from different disciplines together so that they can learn how
to incorporate computational models into their classrooms and research
projects, it will advance the use of computing in undergraduate
science education. We desire to have participants from a broad range
of disciplines, including computer science, mathematics, and the
natural sciences.
