Mentorship

Our mentorship program strives to encourage and aid students who are pursuing studies or future employment in computing by connecting them with more experienced upperclassmen and alumni mentors. The role of the mentor is to cultivate and enhance their mentees' interest in computer science while supporting diversity and the empowerment of women in computing fields.

Mentors and mentees will be matched primarily based on academic interests. Mentees can also request mentors, and we will do our best to honor these requests.

  • One general meeting, which could include: outings with other mentor groups, WICC social events with both the mentors and mentees attending, or additional group meetings.
