[Jennifer Whitlow]

Hi ladies,

As women in computing, we would love to have you volunteer with this year's GA Award for Aspirations in Computing Event on Friday, March 14th 11:00am-7:30pm.

This is a great opportunity to share your experiences with future women in computing and to encourage them to continue their pursuits. The Aspirations in Computing Awards recognize high school females for their accomplishments and aspirations in computing and technology. For more information on the awards,  please visit www.aspirations.org<http://www.aspirations.org>.

Below is a detailed schedule for the event and what we need help with. Please let me know if you are available to help out and with which activities.

The following events take place on the Georgia Tech Camps in the Klaus Advanced Computing Building Atrium and Room 1116:
