Klawe: Never been a better time for women to enter computer science

RealAudio - MP3 - iTunes

One of Maria Klawe's missions as president of the prestigious math, science and engineering school, Harvey Mudd College, is to boost the number of young women entering the field of computer science.

Klawe, former dean of engineering at Princeton University and past president of the Association for Computing Machinery, is on a bit of a recruiting mission, making the case that for women, the information technology job market is wide open and salaries are high.

Klawe will deliver a keynote address at the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing next week in Orlando.
