Inspiring in Any Language
Martha Evens was born on January 1, a day that traditionally symbolizes hope, dreams, and new ways of thinking. It is an apt birthdate for Evens, who would go on to make seminal contributions in computer science and to mentor more than 100 doctoral students since joining the Illinois Tech faculty. While her work in natural language processing and intelligent tutoring systems is considered significant, she perhaps is equally recognized for the role she played in the lives of her students, many whom have gone on to become notable faculty members, finance leaders, chief technology officers, and even university presidents.
