I want to:

- Create Systemic Change
Learn about the current status of computing degrees earned by women, and raise awareness among colleagues and students to help increase women's meaningful participation.
See and hear from a wide range of technical role models. Foster connections with the local community. Motivate students by relating computing experiences to their current interests.
Faculty can consider three evidence-based principles for engaging and retaining all students: Make It Matter, Grow Inclusive Student Community, and Build Student Confidence and Professional Identity.
NCWIT offers awards for both computing students and faculty, recognizing students’ technical accomplishments and faculty’s inclusion efforts relative to their students.
Revise educational systems to fit people, rather than changing people to fit biased systems, with resources that help computing faculty reimagine recruitment, retention, and evaluation.
