Promoting women in techonology related fields
Hey everyone,
Last Monday we met with Intel and they spoke to us about their company and what they do.
On the Monday of November 21st, we are going to have a dinner with WCS alumni who have recently graduated. Please RSVP to the email that was sent out on November 9th if you are planning to attend this event.

Hey everyone,
Last Monday meeting we had a successful game night and played various games such as Telestrations, Jenga: Donkey Kong Edition, Cranium, Contrario, Clue. We are planning to have more game nights like this in the future.
I also wanted to inform you that we have decided to hold our WCS meetings every two weeks, as opposed to every other week.
