ACM-W members participated in the She++ Gala, an evening encouraging diversity in technology at the Computer History Museum.
At one of ACM-W's many events in their "My Story Series," a panel of SCU alumnae shared their experiences in industry with current students.
Every year, ACM-W students go to the Grace Hopper Celebration, the largest women in computing conference in the world. This year, it was held in Orlando, Florida.
ACM-W members join together for their annual Day of the Tech Girl meeting to educate members about minorities in technology and share experiences from the Grace Hopper Celebration.
ACM-W hosted a sign painting party the day before the San Jose Women's March. The next day, the club participated in the march itself to promote women in STEM.
Santa Clara University’s ACM-W chapter aims to support and advocate for the full engagement of women in all aspects of the computing field. We work to create an environment where women can learn from one another and become passionate about being computer scientists, whether it be through workshops focused on developing academic and professional skills or mentorship events with SCU alumnae and local industry representatives. SCU alumnae remain connected to our ACM-W community well beyond graduation, allowing our current members to learn from and become empowered by those who have come before them. We continue to address the issue of retention of women in computer science and engineering and hope to inspire our members to pursue their goals through knowledge and education about women's contribution to technology.
