<div>Women Undergrads!</div>

<div>How great would it be to hear Frances Allen speak in person? She is the winner of the 2006 Turing Award -- the first woman ever to win the award! <br> </div>
<div>Or how about Jeannette Wing, the Assistant Director of the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate, National Science Foundation?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This conference is a mere 3 hours away from Columbus, and costs only $25 to register. For that really low registration fee, you get all of the sessions, plus meals, plus a shared room. The conference starts on Friday night, so you won't even miss too much of your classes.
