Crystal Eney

A little history about me:

I graduated from the University of Washington with a double degree in history and psychology and a minor in music. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here at the UW as a student, so I liked the idea of becoming a full time employee after graduation. I floated around as a substitute advisor/program assistant in both Undergraduate Advising and Student Athlete Academic Services for about a year before leaving on a three month solo adventure through Australia. I needed an extended vacation after 5 years of college and traveling was the perfect outlet. I met some amazing people and saw several beautiful sunsets, it was the trip of a lifetime. I returned to the States with renewed energy and enthusiasm. As a student, I served as a tour guide, orientation leader, and FIG leader, and I am very pleased to be back in the student service sector once again. In my spare time, you can often find me hacking up a golf course, sailing, hiking, reading, studying Krav Maga, roller-blading, or toying with some of the musical instruments that are least likely to annoy my neighbors..

During my time as an academic advisor with CSE, I have developed an interest in encouraging more women to pursue the field of Computer Science & Engineering. I co-led CSE 190e during it's first two years, a seminar designed to show women the breadth and depth of careers in CSE. The seminar serves as a place for women to meet others who share their same interests. Check the course webpage to view our syllabus. In June 2005, my co-instructor (and the co-creator of the seminar), Crystal Hoyer and I presented a paper on our experiences at the American Society of Engineering Education Exposition in Portland, Oregon.

In June 2005 I was also thrilled to join an international working group at the Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education conference in Lisbon, Portugal. Our working group has published two papers.
