"The first full week in December was chosen for CSEdWeek in honor of Grace Murray Hopper, one of the outstanding pioneers in the field of computer science, who was born on December 9, 1906. She engineered new programming languages and pioneered standards for computer systems which laid the foundation for many advances in computer science from the late 1940’s through the 1970s. In 1971, ACM established the annual Grace Murray Hopper Award for Outstanding Young Computer Professional to recognize contributions made by computer professionals who were 35 years of age or less, selected on the basis of a single recent major technical or service contribution." |
