Barbara Ryder, Virginia Tech
ACM Fellow visits CS students
Barbara provided an overview of her career path as an example of the non-standard ways available to people interested in academia, especially discussing issues of diversity, women in computing, balancing career and family, and the features of an academic career. She seemed most proud of her recent role as grandmother!
On Sep 24 Barbara visited an introductory computer science course and participated in the discussion, then met student for lunch.
We in CS appreciate Barbara's time -- her visit provides another perspective from a high-quality graduate research program in computing and engineering and how a liberal arts education can serve an academic career in computing.
