Hi All!
See below and view the attachment about a special scholarship opportunity for women!

Dr. Anita Borg (1949-2003) devoted her life to revolutionizing the way we think about technology and dismantling the barriers that keep women and minorities from entering the computing and technology fields.  In honor of Anita's vision, Google is proud to announce the 2009 Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship<http://www.google.com/anitaborg>, awarding a group of female students each a $10,000 scholarship for the 2009-2010 academic year. All finalists and scholarship recipients will also be invited to attend a 3-day Scholars' Retreat at the Googleplex<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTGX2RmxCkE> in Mountain View, CA in June 2009.
