You might recall that I wrote about the BlackBerry Scholars Program. It was designed as an initiative designed to inspire women globally to enter and develop careers in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. BlackBerry today announced the winners. They are:
- Katherine Chen (United States), who will be pursuing her degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at Harvard College in the U.S.
- Tafadzwa Makaza (South Africa), who will be pursuing her honors degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Coventry University in the U.K.
- Anastasia Santasheva (Canada), who will be pursuing her degree in Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo in Canada
- Tian Qi (Dinah) Shi (Canada), who will be pursuing her degree in Software Engineering at the University of Waterloo in Canada
- Leah Clark (United Kingdom), who will be pursuing her degree in Computer Science at Durham University in the U.K.
- Rozie Yeghiazarian (United States), who will be pursuing her degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology in the U.S.
- Khuyen Duong (Vietnam), who will be pursuing her degree in Computer Science at Oklahoma State University in the U.S.
- Aneesha Kommineni (United States), who will be pursuing her degree in Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin in the U.S.
- Sravya Vishnubhatla (United States), who will be pursuing her degree in Biological Engineering and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the U.S.
- Xiao Yan (Cheyenne) Guo (Canada), who will be pursuing her honours degree in Mathematics at the University of Waterloo in Canada
It’s nice to see three Canadians are on this list.
Each recipient was chosen by a panel of inspirational and accomplished women leaders in STEM based on their academic merit and passion for entering the mobile computing industry. This panel, headed by Alicia Keys, included:
- Barbara Stymiest, Chairperson, BlackBerry (Canada)
- Shinta W. Dhanuwardoyo, Founder & Chairwoman of Bubu.com (Indonesia)
- Delphine Ernotte-Cunci, Executive Director, Orange (France)
- Linda D. Hallman, Executive Director and CEO, American Association of University Women (USA)
