Women in Computer Science

The Women in CS Committee of the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science has the following objectives:

To build an environment in the School of Computer Science where women are supported in their work and studies.

To ensure that young women entering university see computer science as an option.

WICS was established by the Director of the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science in 2007.

WICS is working towards implementing the recommendations of the UW-CS Task Force on Gender Equality Report .

WICS works in cooperation with the Women in Math Committee which addresses similar goals in the broader context of the Faculty of Mathematics.
