Congrats to Lisa Tsosie, a junior applied computing major in New College, who received a coveted Google Women of Color Scholarship to attend the 2013 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, Oct. 2-5 in Minneapolis.

Tsosie was selected to receive one of the highly competitive awards from more than 900 applicants.

She has been working on multiple research projects with professor Yasin Silva, including one to develop a tool to help parents identify bullying of adolescents on Facebook. Tsosie and Silva wrote up an abstract for the "Facebully" project, which was selected for presentation at the conference. But Tsosie didn't expect to be able to attend until she received word that she received the scholarship from Google.
