How To Get Involved
The biennial Michigan Celebration of Women in Computing (MICWIC 2009) will bring together students, faculty, and technology leaders from across Michigan and neighboring states to discuss the role of women in today's computing and technology fields, share experiences and strategies for success, and explore issues common to women working in these fields. It will be held April 3-4, 2009 at the Kellogg Biological Station in Hickory Corners, Michigan. We entreat you to take part in this historic conference in any of a number of ways.
Attend:
You should attend if you are interested in learning about the challenges and rewards of computing careers or in advancing technology through broader representation of women. We encourage undergraduate and graduate students with interests in computing and information technology to attend and also to submit work in the appropriate categories above. We invite faculty and technology leaders to come meet and mentor the next generation of computing professionals. A special track addressing initial pipeline issues will be of particular interest to high school teachers and principals.
