The Association for Women in Computing (AWC) at College Park, MD is composed of a group of students who encourage women to enter and progress in the Computer Science field. In present years the number of women in the field has been declining. It is our purpose, through the establishment of a support system, including mentoring, group tutoring and study group formation, to end this decline. We have quite a semester planned with Social Events, Company Speakers and Seminars. Please stop by any of our meetings and see what we are about; all are welcome to attend. For more information, please e-mail us at awc@cs.umd.edu, and we will be happy to provide any information that you need.
