Dear all --

This is just a quick reminder that if you plan to attend the
Women in CS Grace Hopper Panel and Social Event on Fri Nov 14, 12-1pm,
please email Monica Dey (mdey at cs.uwaterloo.ca) by tomorrow so that
we can estimate the number of refreshments (ice cream!) needed.
(The details of the event are below.)

The event should be a lot of fun and I hope to see everyone there!

Dear female undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty and
staff in Computer Science and Software Engineering -

The Women in CS Committee would like to invite you to the:

Women in CS Grace Hopper Panel and Social Event
Date: Friday, November 14
Time: Noon – 1:00 p.m.
Place: MC5136

There will be:

- a panel discussion with female undergraduate and graduate students
who attended the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing
conference in Colorado in October, 2008.
(http://gracehopper.org/2008)

- a slide show of pictures showing the conference events

- ice cream with toppings and beverages for everyone!

Please bring your lunch and join us!

This is an opportunity to learn about the students' experiences at the
annual conference that brings together women in computing from all
over the world.  Funding for these trips was provided by the Women in
CS Committee and the Math Endowment Fund.  Next year, we plan to fund
more trips by students!

It is also a chance to connect with other women in Computer Science at
the University of Waterloo.

To help us estimate the number of refreshments needed, please email
Monica Dey (mdey at cs.uwaterloo.ca) by Mon 10 Nov 2008 if you plan to
attend.

We hope that you will join us!
