Are you curious about or unfamiliar with the issues of sexism and misogyny in STEM and the software industry? Perhaps you are aware of some of these problems but are interested in learning more.

The Women in Computer Science Undergraduate Committee is hosting an educational panel for students of all genders to learn about the scope and forms of sexism in STEM and software, and to give you tools to identify problematic situations and help create a more accepting, diverse community at our University and in the workplace.
