The Faculty Association of the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµâ€™s Equity Committee has awarded a 2018 Equity and Inclusivity Award to  — a group of dedicated undergrad students, graduate students and faculty members that promotes women who are interested in studying computer science and who are pursuing careers in computing.

The following is excerpted from an article by Simona Chiose, published in the Globe and Mail on April 16, 2018

When Joanne Atlee was an undergraduate student in computer science, more than a third of her class was made up of women. In graduate school, those ranks began to thin out, a decline that has continued through much of her career as a professor at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ. 

“All of a sudden I am an instructor at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ and 10 per cent of the class is female and it’s ‘Oh no, what happened?’â€

We’ve all done it — felt a cough, headache or fever coming on then searched online for a remedy. If you’re like most people, you’re probably confident you can assess the effectiveness of treatments you find on the web, separating medically beneficial ones from those that are a waste of money, dubious or even harmful.

Professor M. Tamer Özsu, a founding member of the Data Systems Group at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science, has been named a University Professor by the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ, a distinction conferred to academics of exceptional scholarly achievement and international pre-eminence.
