the technology field. Temple's CIS department has partnered with the NWCT (National Women in
Computing Technology) to provide this event.

Nationally, only 18% of students graduating from Computer and Information Science programs are female. The job market continues to explode, and getting more females into this exciting, creative and innovative career path is critically important.
