2. Check Out Tech – Female Networking Event - TONIGHT

This event has been moved back one week due to weather issues!

Calling all Female Students....Check Out Tech! Learn how to get into the technology field, even with a different major!

Come to network with Professional Women in the Computer/Information Technology profession to get a better

understanding of what a career in IT is like and how you might consider a career in the technology field. Temple's CIS

department has partnered with the NWCT (National Women in Computing Technology) to provide this event.

Besides being a networking opportunity, we will be raffling-off an IPad and gift cards.

Nationally, only 18% of students graduating from Computer and Information Science programs are female. The job market continues to explode, and getting more females into this exciting, creative and innovative career path is critically important. This is the fastest growing area in STEM and the one with the fewest females. Companies are clamoring to get more talented females hired. There are opportunities for you - and it is not always a traditional path to get to them!
