Penn Women in Computer Science
Empowering women in tech at the University of Pennsylvania
Our Mission
The University of Pennsylvania Women in Computer Science (WiCS) student organization aims to foster a community for Penn students who support the advancement of women in tech including Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Computational Biology, Digital Media Design and Networked and Social Systems Engineering.
Our purpose is to support and promote students who identify as women in CS by raising awareness about the issues they face, fostering communication, and creating a sense of community.
WiCS is open to all students, regardless of gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation, who support the mission of WiCS.
