About
ACM-W aims to facilitate a thriving community of women and non-binary individuals in computing by organizing activities, networking, and mentorship programs. We aim to address the issue of retention of these underrepresented groups in computer science by creating a support system for academic and professional pursuits and empowering our members to pursue their goals through knowledge and education about women’s contribution to technology. This group is open to all students (male or female) that wish to promote women and non-binary individuals in computing.
