The Computer Science Women's Network (CSWN) is an organization at
Purdue University
consisting of people (both students and staff) who are dedicated to helping women
in the computer science (CS) field. The leadership team that organizes most activities
is made up of female students who want to reach out and help all of the women in CS.
CSWN organizes different activities meant to encourage young women
to meet one another and also learn more about their chosen field of study.
These activities range from picnics to technical talks to helping students
find tutors if they are needed.
Our goal is to encourage women in computer science to stay in the field and prosper.
