W&M Society of Women in Computing

Supporting, celebrating, and advocating for the full engagement of women in all aspects of computing. We provide resources, networking opportunities, and a welcoming community for women to excel in technology fields.

About SWC at W&M

Hey there! We are the Society of Women in Computing which is our name for the ACM-W chapter at the College of William & Mary.

ACM-W supports, celebrates, and advocates for the full engagement of women in all aspects of the computing field. ACM-W provides a wide range of programs and services to ACM members and works to advance the contributions of women in tech in the community at large.

The Society of Women in Computing aims to meet the goals of ACM-W and seeks to bridge the gender gap in computing-related fields. We also seek to act as a central organization for women at the college to provide resources and opportunities for women to network, foster relationships and share their experiences in computing.

Community & Network

Connect with fellow students, faculty, and industry professionals. Build lasting relationships and expand your professional network in the tech community.

Professional Development

Access workshops, guest speaker events, and career development resources designed to prepare you for success in computing careers.

Outreach

Our mentorship program at local elementary and middle schools' robotics teams has been active since 2018 and is a great way to get more involved in the community!

Outreach

Our mentorship program at local elementary and middle schools has been a key part of our club since January 2018. Currently, we have an active partnership with Matoaka Elementary School's robotics program. We are excited to hopefully expand to additional local middle and high schools this coming spring. We have been fortunate enough to receive three ACM Student Chapter Excellence Awards for Outstanding Community Service in 2018, 2019, and 2023.

If you and/or your school are interested in getting involved with SWC's outreach programs, please contact us at swc@wm.edu!
