About Us.


Swarthmore Women+ In Computer Science (WiCS) was informally created in the Fall of 2011, and chartered in the Spring of 2013. Women have been, and continue to be, underrepresented in the field of Computer Science. Our purpose is to create a supportive community for women in Computer Science as one way to change this trend. Our mission is divided into three key parts:

Community.

Provide a safe, welcoming community to all female-identifying individuals interested in or pursuing Computer Science.

Academics.

Provide a space for learning, asking questions and getting academic encouragement.

Career.

Provide professional tools and opportunities to succeed in CS beyond Swarthmore.

Our Events.


We have a number of events throughout the semester that you can join in on!

Rotating Lunch Dates

Sign up to get matched with 1-2 W+iCS members once a month to grab a meal together - this is a great way to meet other Swatties!

Guest Lectures.

Throughout the year we invite alumns, professors, and industry professionals to come to Swarthmore and speak about their profession. Check our current events calendars for upcoming lectures.

Workshops and Tutorials

As part of our mission, we seek to provide the necessary tools and training for future careers in CS, so lookout for workshops and tutorials on technical interviews, resumes, and learning different softwares/programs.

Community Building Events

Every semester, we host a number of fun events and study breaks for W+iCS members to get to know one another. Past events have included arts & crafts featuring Trader Joe's snacks, cookie decorating, and movie nights, among others!
