SUMMARY:Save the Date: Building and Maintaining Supportive Communities for Women in HPC
DESCRIPTION:On April 22\, 2026\, VA-WHPC hosted 8 students as they gave 3-minute lightning talks on their research to members of the HPC community from across Virginia. Each presenter had 3 minutes and 1-2 slides to showcase their research\, and following each presentation\, we had a short Q&A to dive deeper into any questions.We gratefully acknowledge Lenovo for sponsoring the student presentation awards. Thanks to all who attended this fantastic opportunity to explore a diverse range of topics in High-Performance Computing (HPC)\, and congratulations to the winners: First place: Stephen Tivenan\, Virginia Commonwealth UniversitySecond place: Allyson Morris\, College of William & Mary 					\n						\n				\n						\n					\n		\n								\n					\n		\n				\n						\n							\n					\n			\n							\n						\n				\n					\n			\n						\n						Watch the recording (TBD)\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n						\n					\n		\n								\n					\n		\n				\n						\n							\n					\n			\n							\n						\n				\n			Presenters		\n				\n						\n					\n		\n								\n					\n		\n				\n						\n							\n					\n			\n							\n						\n				\n								\n				1.
