“Scale” is a complex notion that encompasses some easy-ish-to-measure factors such as the resource footprint or transaction rate of a system, but also substantially more subtle considerations such as service dependencies that influence the cost of making changes and team behaviors that affect how long it takes to resolve a production issue.

This talk looks at some of the issues of equity, diversity, and inclusiveness that women in computing face, in K-12, in university, and as junior programmers in the workforce. I’ll discuss some of the best practices for addressing these issues, what WiCS is doing to address these issues, and the considerable amount of work that is left to do.

Everyone is welcome to attend this free online event.

We have all been in conversations where a friend, colleague or boss makes an off-handed or stereotypical comment. Such comments can be hurtful and make for a non-inclusive learning or working environment. We might let the comment slide because we want to move on and don’t want to make the speaker defensive. However, by not speaking up, we silently convey that such comments are OK with us and we help to normalize them.

Please note: This talk will be given online.

Digital adoption and dependence have been dramatically propelled by the COVID-19 pandemic. This sudden growth spotlights critical issues such as cybersecurity, privacy, resilience, the highly consequential shift to 5G, and what innovative technologies may follow. Leadership in 5G adoption will be a vital determinant of future national competitiveness, as 5G will further enable dramatic technological advances in logistics, manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, mining, construction and smart grids. 

Please join Women in Computer Science for this free, virtual event with Kathleen Nalty, an expert in strategies to create cultures of inclusion to retain and advance diverse talent.
