One other thing I'll mention: I am very glad to see this initiative, but please also look into stereotype threat and be mindful of how a prominent display on "women in computing" can trigger stereotype threat for women already feeling marginalized in the School.
If ignored, this could cause your display to backfire a bit in ways I am sure you don't want or intend. Many of us who teach these topics have to be careful not to inadvertently trigger stereotype threat while teaching. So I would suggest looking into methods
for lessening the impact of stereotype threat as you design the final display. Happy to discuss more off-list if needed.</div>
