This is one of five articles providing personal perspectives on gender diversity in computing. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/Khh0DlVW9kk is a video interview in which Robert B. Schnabel, dean of the School of Informatics at Indiana University Bloomington, discusses the importance of gender diversity in computing with Alfred C. (Alf) Weaver, the director of the University of Virginia´s Applied Research Institute.
