Becoming Active Leaders in Society

“It is very valuable to network with other women especially in technology, given there are very few in the field. It helps in understanding various challenges, how to balance personal and professional life and what to expect in the professional world.”

About Us


Women in Computing (WIC) is a community of faculty, graduates, and undergraduates at Indiana University Bloomington that are dedicated to promoting, celebrating, and empowering women in technology. Our members are from the fields of Computer Science, Engineering, Informatics, and Library Information Sciences. Our goal is to increase the number of women in technology fields.

Women in Computing hosts many events at Indiana University Bloomington to create a welcoming community that aids women throughout their time in Luddy SICE. These events include outreach, professional skills, workshops, and social events.

WIC hosts a variety of events throughout the year. Our events range from professional development sessions to fun social events.
