Hopper conference tapes now available
| Date: | November 1995 |
| Section: | Conference News |
As general chair of the 1994 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, I want to personally urge you to purchase for your department this set of 15 conference videolectures by leading women in computer science.
Although the technical quality of the material is extraordinarily high and appropriate for both male and female audiences, the tapes provide inspiration for women. I wish such tapes, presenting senior role models in the field, had been available when I was in graduate school.
I believe every computer science department, library and guidance center should have this collection readily available to recruit women and inspire them to stay in the computer science field.
--Anita Borg
