WIC Attends CWIC-SoCal
The Celebration of Women in Computing in Southern California (CWIC-SoCal) conference was held April 14-15, 2012 in Santa Ana and UCSD was well represented with 65 attendees! UCSD's Women in Computing raised enough money along with support form the CSE department, Jeanne Ferrante and generous alumnus to send this large contingent. The CWIC-SoCal is an opportunity for women interested in computer science and information technology to network, share their experiences, learn from each other and, of course, to have fun.
