*As a joint effort of the Computing Research Association's Committee on the
Status of Women (CRA-W) and the Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC), we
are organizing a summer school workshop in Programming Languages to be held
at the University of Texas at Austin on May 9-11, 2007. The workshop is
particularly targeted at women and under-represented minority graduate
students and early-career faculty with research interests in programming
languages. Through technical panel sessions with academic and industry
leaders, as well as other informal activities, the summer school will
provide mentoring for these students and faculty as they get started with
their careers. A webpage with basic information and the application form is
now available at:

         http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/mckinley/pl-summer-2007/.

Our effort is inspired and modeled on last year's well received Computer
Architecture Summer School held at Princeton, also sponsored by CRA-W and
CDC ( http://www.princeton.edu/~archss06/<http://www.princeton.edu/%7Earchss06/>).
CRA-W and CDC plan additional area specific workshops with a technical
focus. Call for proposals can be found here:
http://www.cra.org/Activities/craw/cdc/.

Via funding from NSF's Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) program,
and ACM's Special Interest Group on Programming Languages (SIGPLAN) we will
provide reasonable travel support for students. There is no charge for the
summer school.

Feel free to email questions to the workshop organizers, Kathryn McKinley (
mckinley at cs.utexas.edu) and Daniel A. Jimenez (dj at cs.utsa.edu), for more
information.
