WiCS aims to foster an inclusive community that supports the advancement of women and gender diverse people in computer science.
We support and encourage prospective computer science majors and provide direction and assistance to current computer science students.
Our network connects female and gender diverse undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty to opportunities in academia and industry, mentorship, and each other.
