NCWIT Aspiration Awards 2009
The University of Illinois department of computer science served as the Illinois Chair for the National Center for Women and Information Technology Award for Aspirations in Computing for 2009. The Award recognizes young women at the high-school level for their computing-related 
achievements and interests. By generating visibility for these young women in their local communities, the NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing encourages their continued interest in computing, attracts the attention and support of educational and corporate institutions, and emphasizes at a personal level the importance of women's participation.
