FSU Women in IT & ICT Sharing Experiences from FSU CCI on Vimeo.
What are our goals?
- Provide professional events for members (guest speaker series, mentorship events, career days, internship opportunities, company tours)
- Provide opportunities for leadership for students (executive board, leadership roles, outreach to schools)
- Facilitate links between FSU and the local business/technology community for our female students
- Provide venues for social collaboration for students (Bowling, Picnics, Pizza Nights)
We host a industry breakfast each semester that connects local female CEO/CIO/Executives with our students. We run Girl Scouts camps and middle school summer camps to attract more young women to STEM programs.
What have we accomplished?
What can YOU do to help WISE?
You can help Florida State and WISE reach more young women and promote STEM around the state with your donations. By supporting the meals/lodging/transportation needs of WISE members, you can help us reach new audiences (as well as promote FSU).
You can help Florida State and WISE send more of our female students to conferences such as Grace Hopper. These conferences do not happen in Tallahassee and typical travel/lodging easily runs about $1500 per student.
You can help Florida State and WISE host more female workshops and mentoring breakfasts with local female leaders. Each semester we host a breakfast that costs $750 in venue/food costs.
Your support for WISE is critical to ensure that our students build the communication, teamwork, and leadership skills needed for successful careers in information technology and communication.
You can help Florida State and WISE by getting involved, volunteeringyour time to mentor our students, and particiapting with our events.
This past March, we hosted our 6th "Women in Leadership" conference that was supported by 50 panelists and 300+ female students. We would love to host the event again in March of 2020. See more at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMb_nzuUdW8
