R.L. Turner Student Receives Honorable Mention Award
Computer Science student, Taylor Riley, was honored last night at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) with an honorable mention award from the National Center for Women in Information Technology (NCWIT). She applied for it in September. The NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing honors high school women who are active and interested in computing and technology.
This multi-tiered competition includes recognition at the national and local level. In February, Taylor was notified that she had been selected as a 2017 DFW Affiliate Honorable Mention for the NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing. Recipients are chosen for their demonstrated interest and achievements in computing; leadership ability; academic history; and plans for post-secondary education. Last night was the award ceremony at UTD, there were about 19 girls. Taylor received an engraved award for herself and one to give to her school.
Congratulations Taylor and good luck on all your future endeavors!
