In this week's People of ACM, we interview Sole Pera, Associate Professor, TU Delft. The central focus of her recent work has been ensuring that children have safe and meaningful engagements with online content. Pera was also recently appointed Co-chair of the ACM Globalization Board. This new initiative aims to help resource-constrained regions connect with the global computing community.

Vicki's passing is an immeasurable loss for the @TheOfficialACM family, the computing community, and me personally. She brought inclusion to the forefront, helped many young scientists advance their careers, and supported my presidency wholeheartedly. She will be greatly missed.
ACM mourns the loss of former CEO and President Vicki L. Hanson.
Vicki was a pioneer in accessibility research and a tireless advocate for inclusion in computing. From her over 25 years as a volunteer to her leadership as CEO, her impact on our community is immeasurable. She will be greatly missed.
