Does your company hire computer scientists?
Do you want diversity on your team?
If yes, then consider sponsoring the Rocky Mountain Celebration of Women in Computing (RMCWiC).
RMCWiC is designed to promote diversity by offering opportunities for mentoring, networking, and
technical/career development to women in computing. We invite your computing employees or academic
representatives to attend RMCWiC and take advantage of the opportunities that exist in the
conference program. We invite your organization to sponsor RMCWiC and help your company, computing
degree program, or research program to build diversity by meeting students during RMCWiC’s Career Fair.
At RMCWiC 2012, 86 ugrad/grad students from 8 universities and 5 states attended. Also, 44
industry/non-profit organizations/other representatives attended from 15 different organizations.
The schools included Colorado School of Mines, Colorado State University, Colorado University at Boulder,
Peak to Peak Charter school, United States Air Force Academy, University of Nebraska at Kearney, University
of Wyoming, Westminster College, and University of California Santa Cruz. The organizations and businesses
included National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Montana Girls STEM Collaborative, Ready Talk,
Yahoo! Inc., Apogee Engineering, Telvent, National Science Foundation, Microsoft, LGS Innovations,
Hewlett-Packard, Google, ArcelorMittal, Intel Corporation, Cray Inc., and The Portland Group.
Previously, RMCWiC was called the Colorado Celebration of Women in Computing (CCWIC), but we have changed
the name to reflect its expanding influence. At CCWIC 2008 in Boulder, 87 computer science ugrad/grad
students from 12 universities and 6 states attended. At CCWIC 2010 in Golden, 101 students from 19
universities and 5 states attended. RMCWiC is expecting even more students.
Consider sponsoring RMCWiC and meet women in computing who are looking for
opportunities that your organization has available!
You can only be eligible for one sponsorship, either non-profit or industry but not both.
