CSREA is delighted to host a luncheon for the Department of Computer Science's guest speaker, Lisa Gelobter, tech/digital pioneer in media and education. Ms. Gelobter was a Brown graduate and Computer Science concentrator and is looking forward to her return to campus.

On Friday, March 3rd, Ms. Gelobter will be at CSREA between 11:30am-1:00pm for an informal lunchtime conversation about women and people of color in STEM industries. What are the opportunities? What are the visible and invisible barriers and hurdles? What are some good strategies for leveling the playing field in the ever expanding and influential STEM industries?

We will serve lunch and spaces are limited, so please RSVP to Caitlin Murphyat [email protected].

At 4pm on the same day, Ms. Gelobter will present a lecture titled, "Using Technology as a Force of Good" in CIT 368. More information is available on the Brown CS website: https://cs.brown.edu/about/diversity/diversity-lecture-series/
