*Featured Awardees:*

*7th Innovator Award - Dr. Barbara Di Eugenio,* of the University of
Illinois Chicago, for demonstrating innovative approaches in computational

interactive applications in education technology and human-robot
interactions, where users can hold a natural conversation with a computer.

*2nd Motivator Award - Dr. Lily Rin-Laures*, of Marshall, Gerstein & Borun,
LLP, for her work in initiating a new chapter of Women in Bio in Chicago

Girls4Science (a nonprofit dedicated to exposing girls aged 10-18 to STEM)
and Coalition for Women's Initiatives in Law Firms. She has also served as
a mentor for Menttium, a cross-company mentoring program for female
leaders.

Our annual awards dinner will include short talks by our distinguished
awardees about their work, career paths, and insights on women in science,
