Dartmouth will be hosting a site for the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (NACLO) on January 31, 2013. The olympiad is a test consisting of language puzzles, conducted across the US and Canada for students in grades 6-12. Registration is free, and all students who enjoy logic, math, and/or language are encouraged to participate. An information session will be held in early January to discuss problem-solving strategies for the test, and to answer questions about studying linguistics, computer science, and computational linguistics in college. See http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~naclo for more information.

Dartmouth CS was very well represented at the 2012 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, with a contingent of 30 students!
