In February, Catelyn Scholl (\u201922 MS Computer Science, \u201919 BS Computer Science), software engineer, and Scott Butler, senior software engineer, were awarded 2021 Volunteer Influencer awards by Northwestern Mutual\u2019s Tech Advancement & Outreach team. The awards recognize strong volunteer supporters for K-20 outreach programs that the company is working to advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As part of the prize package, Scholl and Butler were each able to select one such organization to receive $500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholl says she was involved with Girls Who Code at UWM for four years as both a volunteer and instructor. \u201cI chose Girls Who Code because I know how much of an impact this organization has made by providing STEM education to the Milwaukee community and inspiring the next generation of women in technology,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was excited to give back to the organization that gave me my foundation in volunteer work and tech outreach and inspired my passion for computer science.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GWC classes are free, though donations are welcome for food, supplies, T-shirts and instructors. Find out more about supporting GWC by contacting Jean Opitz, development director for UWM\u2019s College of Engineering & Applied Science, opitz@uwm.edu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
