I have contacts at other local university (Univ Colorado-Boulder, University of Colorado-Denver, University of Denver, and Metro State University), all of which are within a 45 minute drive from CSM. If you accept my application, I will contact all the female CS faculty at these local universities and ask them to invite all their faculty and students to the panel. I will also ask the Distinguished Speaker how many seminars she could do while in the Denver area and schedule these talks at as many universities as the Speaker is willing to do. > * Scheduling constraints - unavailable dates, preferred dates, start > and end of the Fall term, time and day of the week of any regular > colloquium series. CSM's seminar series is usually Friday at 3pm. Fall begins Aug 22nd and ends first week in December. A visit in late Oct or early November would be best for my schedule at the present time. Spring semester looks even less busier than fall (currently). > * Means of advertising to interested parties, such as mailing lists > of undergraduates, local women organizations, and related departments > whose members may be interested. Is there an active (formal or informal) > women's group in computer science and engineering at the institution? > Are there viable opportunities to cooperate with nearby colleges for > even greater impact? See previous discussion on other local universities. As of Jan 2004, we have a women's group in computer science. One of our goals is to bring as many female speakers to our colloq series as possible. > * Contact people - a local host, which ideally will be a female > faculty member; the colloquia or seminar chair; and a student liaison. > Please provide physical addresses, email addresses and telephone > numbers. Tracy Camp (local host) and William Navidi (seminar chair) Dept. of Math. and Computer Sciences Colorado School of Mines Golden, CO 80401 303/384-2184 tcamp@mines.edu wnavidi@mines.edu > * Information about the institution:- closest airport and distance to > it, degrees offered in participating departments, size of program in > terms of numbers of undergraduate students, number of graduate students, > and number of faculty, plus percentage of women in each category. Denver Int'l airport is about 40 minutes from Golden. We offer BS, MS, and PhD degrees. We have approx 300 ugrads and 50 grad students in our math/CS department; approx. 225 of the 300 ugrads and 30 of the 50 grad students are in CS. Of the 17 faculty, two are women (one in math and me in CS). At the ugrad and grad level, approx. 25% of our students are female. Let me know if you need anything else for consideration. Tracy
