NCWIT, the National Center for Women & Information Technology, has introduced a new annual national award for programs that exemplify success in encouraging women to pursue the field. And the inaugural winner of this award – announced this morning at the NCWIT Summit – is UW CSE.
We have a long way to go, but we’re committed to it, and we’re making progress. That’s what this wonderful award signifies, and every one of you has played a role.
