The Young Women in Computing Program of the New Mexico State University Computer Science department is ecstatic to announce that Natasha Nesiba has been selected for the prestigious and competitive 2010 Google Anita Borg Memorial Scholarship for First Years.

Although still in high school, she is a student researcher for the Young Women in Computing program, funded by the National Science Foundation to gain the interest of young women in the various fields of computer science.
