1976-82: PI for National Science Foundation Grant for Women in Science Program (2 separate but continuous grants). This program was designed to bring women with science degrees that were unemployed or underemployed back into appropriate science careers. Three different groups of women participated in this program over a 4-year period. I personally interviewed and counseled approximately 500 women; approximately 100 women are active in science careers today as a result of this program.

1973: Coached professional staff at the International Computer Education Center, Budapest, Hungary, to teach Data Structure courses in English to people from developing countries.
