AWICS Corporate Sponsors

AWICS relies on outside sponsors to support many of its activities. For example, the AWICS Distinguished Lecture requires funds for the speaker's travel expenses and an honorarium, and the AWICS PRESENTS seminar series features external speakers and utilizes financial support from interested corporate sponsors.

Once again, Microsoft's generous funding, along with scholarships from the conference, helped us send TWENTY FOUR undergraduate and graudate students to the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Conference 2002 which was held in Vancouver, BC. Other groups may have tried to beat us in number, but we still outranked as by far the largest group there!

Microsoft's generous funding, combined with scholarships from the conference, enabled us to bring a group of TWENTY FOUR to the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Conference which was held in Hyannis, MA in September 2000. We had a blast - and were the biggest group there!
