Widener University's
Women in Computing Club

"Throughout my time at Widener, Women in Computing club really gave me an appreciation for being an advocate for other women in computing. After graduating, I started my career as a developer at Vanguard where I have been able to form a great network of supportive women through groups such as their IT Women's Initiative for Leadership Success community. With Vanguard, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing at the end of September this year. Not only was I able to attend but I was also able to showcase some of the work I've been doing at my company's technology booth. Through the sessions I attended, I learned about different ways to get women more involved in STEM at a younger age and was able to see great work that's being done throughout the industry by talented women. Through the technology booth, I was able to share my experience in the industry with young women still in school as well as industry professionals. It was a really amazing experience made even more valuable due to Widener Women in Computing club dedication to advocating for women in computing"
