WiCS Orientation is a welcome event for first-year students to learn how to improve their university experience, learn how to help themselves advance in their careers, and to cultivate a network of friends and allies — people to study with and play with; who can provide advice in good times and in bad; who can refer them to opportunities or to their connections.  

Come join WiCS and Google to learn essential interview communication skills, problem solving frameworks and strategic preparation techniques to ace your next technical interview!
