As part of an effort to encourage more young women to choose careers in technology, the Ohio Affiliate of the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) recognized three Hathaway Brown School students for their accomplishments and aspirations in computing and technology.
Freshman Lauren Egts and sophomore Madeleine Ference were honored as winners of the Ohio Affiliate NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing. Sophomore Aarathi Sahadevan was recognized as a runner up. There are 21 Ohio girls who were recognized this year.
“With the Department of Labor predicting 1.4 million computing jobs in the U.S. workforce by 2020, it’s critical that we capitalize on this untapped talent pool and set these young women on the path to taking a seat at the technical design table." said Lucy Sanders, CEO and Cofounder of NCWIT.
The NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing was created to encourage the computing aspirations of young women, introduce them to leadership opportunities in the field, and generate visibility for women’s participation in technology fields. Winners are acknowledged for their outstanding aptitude and interest in technology and computing, leadership ability, academic history, and plans for post-secondary education.
This year’s Ohio award event was sponsored by Microsoft, AT&T, Bank of America, Bloomberg, Google, and many others.

On Thursday, January 23, HB Alum Julie Schenkelberg '92 visited a number of the Upper School art students to share her creative process, where her inspirations come from, and her experiences in the New York art scene.
"Julie's visit was extremely valuable for our young artists," said Visual Arts department chair Jamie Morse, Julie's former teacher. "It's also incredibly to see such expressive, hard-hitting art come from a typically quiet person like Julie."
Since her graduation from Hathaway Brown, Julie has made a name for herself in New York City, and nationally, with her installation sculptures. Her most recent work can be seen the Sculpture Center in Cleveland, through March 6.
