ACM-W is the Association for Computing Machinery committee on Women in Computing. It celebrates, informs and supports women in computing, and works with the ACM-W community of computer scientists, educators, employers and policymakers to improve working and learning environments for women.
The RPI chapter of ACM-W strives to recruit, engage, and rejoice in the accomplishments of gender minority computer scientists within the institute. By providing a variety of workshops, networking events, and career advancement opportunities, the chapter strives to create equal opportunity and diversification in CS-related fields. We welcome all women and gender minorities who are interested in computing and related fields to be a part of our chapter. We strive to be a safe space for people of all backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities.
