Women in Computing
ACM-W
ACM-W advocates internationally for the full engagement of women in all aspects of the computing field, providing a wide range of programs and services to ACM members and working in the larger community to advance the contributions of technical women. The UChicago chapter hosts biweekly study breaks and other events throughout the quarter.
It’s meant to be a safe space for discussion, meeting other UChicago women in CS, and supporting women in the department. In addition to study breaks, we hold various panels, workshops, and speaker events throughout the year. We also run the following departmental initiatives focused on fostering diversity in the Computer Science department.
Graduate Women in Computer Science (GWiCS)
Graduate Women in Computer Science (GWiCS) is a student-led organization that builds a community of support for graduate students who identify as women in the Computer Science department. Our activities include monthly Sounding Board Socials, recruitment, and advocacy. GWiCS is also part of the Women in Graduate Science organization within the Physical Sciences Division.
