WiC taught me leadership and gave me a community. [...] The opportunities and networking alone played a huge role in who I am today. It inspired me to be a part of creating a place of comfortability to allow for more diversity. WiC gave me the confidence to be a face of encouragement because if I can do it, you can too and have fun while you're at it! Read More

Our After Hours program is one of my favorite events and was a key factor in my decision to attend RIT. As an incoming student, it’s truly eye-opening to see how many fellow women in computing there are, both current and potential students. This event is where I was first exposed to WiC and met many people who are still my friends today. Read More

I think that it is a great opportunity for potential female students to get to know the organization and see what wonderful things WiC offers. Read More

They showed me how to network, brought me to conferences and introduced me to alumni. I have even had WiC members offer me their free time to make sure I get through my homework. Read More

I love spending the day seeing so many female students passionate about programming, it never fails to be an unforgettable experience. Read More
