Women in Informatics and Computing (WIC)

WIC at Indiana University was founded in the Spring of 2002. It has since grown to include a large number of students, faculty, and staff members, from the departments of Computer Science, Informatics, and the School of Library and Information Science (SLIS).

Mission Statement

Women in computing is broadly interpreted to be inclusive of women in computing disciplines inside and outside the School of Informatics, and inclusive of faculty, graduate, undergraduate, and technical staff.

To achieve the goals in our mission statement, we provide:
