What is InWIC?

The goal of the Indiana Celebration of Women in Computing (InWIC) conference is to provide a low cost, regionally-tailored, small conference for women in computing. InWIC is a more intimate version of the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, and shares the same philosophy, supportive environment, and goals.

InWIC will begin late on Friday afternoon. Dinner on Friday is provided, as are accommodations at the Canyon Inn. InWIC will continue through lunch on Saturday, and is followed by a Career Fair in the afternoon.

Talks on cutting-edge technical issues and on social issues of relevance to undergraduate and graduate women in computing will be presented. Creative social opportunities to meet faculty members, students, and area industry leaders.

Keynote Speakers

Katie A. Siek, Assistant Professor of Computer Science at University of Colorado Boulder, where she leads the Wellness Innovation and Interaction Lab. Her primary research interests are in human computer interaction, health informatics, and ubiquitous computing. More specifically, she is interested in how sociotechnical interventions affect personal health and well being. Her research is supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the National Science Foundation including a five-year NSF CAREER award. She was an organizer for InWIC 2006, the same year she received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Indiana University.

Nadine Shillingford, Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT). She is a graduate of the Computer Science and Engineering department at the University of Notre Dame where her research area was centered on routing solutions for wireless ad-hoc and mesh systems. She is the faculty advisor for the girls in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (gEECS) group and the RHIT CCDC computer security defense team. Professor Shillingford's focus is on introducing computer security awareness in K-12 students. She serves as the Treasurer for InWIC 2012.

Who can attend InWIC?

The conference will bring together people from industry and Indiana academic institutions. The program will be of interest to both undergraduate and graduate students. Our previous conferences were attended by women from small private schools (e.g., DePauw University, Hanover College), engineering schools (e.g., Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology), and large public state institutions (Indiana University, Purdue University, and IUPUI).
