SUMMARY:Anderson Science Lecture welcomes Jeannette Wing
DESCRIPTION:Denison University's Anderson Lecture Series welcomes Executive
  Vice President for Research and Professor of Computer Science at Columbia
  University Jeannette Wing\, presenting a lecture.\n\nWing is a globally r
 ecognized leader in computer science\, known for her seminal 2006 essay on
  “Computational Thinking\,” which established the centrality of comput
 er science concepts to problem-solving across diverse disciplines. In this
  essay Wing argues that computational thinking is a fundamental skill for 
 everyone\, and it involves solving problems\, designing systems\, and unde
 rstanding human behavior. Wing posits that computational thinking is about
  ideas and conceptualizing at multiple levels of abstraction. Ultimately\,
  she asserts that computational thinking is a way that humans\, not comput
 ers\, think and it is for everyone\, everywhere.\n\nWing’s research expe
 rtise spans trustworthy AI\, security and privacy\, formal methods\, and d
 istributed systems. She was the first woman to serve as head of the Comput
 er Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University and she served as the 
 inaugural Avanessians Director of Columbia University’s Data Science Ins
 titute. Additionally Wing brings to conversations about computer science h
 er expertise from the business sector\, by her role as Corporate Vice Pres
 ident of Microsoft Research overseeing global labs\, and the governance se
 ctor\, through her work as Assistant Director for the Computer and Informa
 tion Science and Engineering Directorate at the National Science Foundatio
 n.\n\nWing is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and ot
 her scientific societies including the National Academy of Engineering. Sh
 e serves on several high-level advisory boards\, including the American Ac
 ademy for Arts and Sciences Board of Directors. Wing’s career bridges ac
 ademia\, industry\, and government\, where she has emphasized the applicat
 ion of computational thinking to real-world challenges. Wing holds bachelo
 r’s and master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Scienc
 e\, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science\, all from the Massachu
 setts Institute of Technology (MIT).\n\nThe Anderson Science Lecture is De
 nison’s annual convocation featuring a nationally known scientist and is
  supported by the J. Reid and Polly Anderson Endowment of Denison Universi
 ty.
