We invite you all to join us as we congratulate the 2022 SIGCAS award recipients, hear their insights and share in discussions concerning computers and their role in and impact on contemporary societal issues led by panels of experts. SIGCAS 2022 Award winners Making a Difference Award Winner Dr. Lisa Milenkovic is the STEM+Computer Science Curriculum Supervisor at Broward County Public Schools, the nation?s sixth largest district (http://browardschools.com/stem). Dr. Milenkovic is the lead for the District?s Code.org Regional Partnership for CS, the K-12 STEM Olympiad and robotics, environmental stewardship, and several other grant funded programs to engage students and teachers in STEM. She believes EVERY student should find their STEM identity through experiencing an ever changing, diverse set of fun and engaging opportunities (including gaming, spatial computing, and citizen science) that provide #STEMforALL. Outstanding Service Award Winner In 2018, Flo Appel retired as a Professor of Computer Science after a 32-year academic career in Computer Science at Saint Xavier University in Chicago. During her tenure, her focus was on the development of pedagogy for computer ethics and its social impact. She was an active member of ACM SIGCAS, serving as chair for six years in the early 2000s. Upon her retirement, she recognized that she could make a significant contribution to her community by continuing to support higher education. In April 2021, she was elected to the Board of Trustees of the College of DuPage, her district's community college. Showcase 2022 Panel Discussions I'm looking forward to all of these but I'd like to highlight the panel on Social Responsibility in the Computing Profession, featuring two prominent people from our own society, the ACM, and a person from IEEE, also an influential professional society focused on tech. Are we doing enough? What should we be doing? And why ? and how? Social Responsibility in the Computing Profession Neha Kumar, Georgia Tech; President of ACM SIGCHI. Katina Michael, Arizona State University; IEEE Transactions on Technology & Society Moshe Vardi, Rice University; Communications of the ACM Research in Computing for the Social Good Brett Becker, University College Dublin Kathi Fisler, Brown University Miranda Parker, San Diego State University Sustainability and Green Internet Vesna Manojlovic, RIPE Network Coordination Centre Klervie Tocze, Link?ping University George Porter, UCSD Civic Tech for Civic Communities Chris Coward, University of Washington Information School Anna De Liddo, Knowledge Media Institute of the Open University, UK Esther Jang, Paul G Allen School for Computer Science and Engineering Showcase 2022 Town Hall The last event of the Showcase will be a discussion regarding SIGCAS, what activities and initiatives should we undertake? What should we do more of? Less of? Given the tremendous impact, both good and bad, of computing, the challenges of addressing societal issues related to computing are massive. We hope you can join us! Showcase 2022 is open to the public. Feel free to forward this note to other interested people and groups. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
