Computer Science Department alumna Jennifer Gandolfo (Class of 1997) has generously donated to the CS Department to support a scholarship for a woman CS major to attend the Grace Hopper Celebration.
The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing is an annual fall event at which women in tech (including some of CS @ TCNJ’s very own students and faculty) gather to participate in professional development workshops and technical seminars, network with peers in the industry, and attend the career fair. While the GHC is typically held in-person, this year’s event was held virtually, and was attended by Dr. Pulimood and CS Majors Adeena Ahmed and Hana Memon.
Gandolfo’s donation will fund travel and conference expenses for one woman CS major to attend the event.
Thank you again to Jennifer for her generous donation and support of students in the CS @ TCNJ program!
