Panel: Increasing Female Enrollment and Retention for Computing Degrees

Published: 26 September 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Many technology classrooms see a disparity everyday with the numbers of men and women grossly uneven. As society realizes that more women need to be recruited into math, science and technology jobs, how do we convince young women that these are good careers for them? This panel will discuss initiatives at various universities aiming to recruit and retain female students. We hope to provoke a thoughtful exchange of ideas to help the technology field become a techie-dominated field, instead of a male-dominated field.
