It is a professional organization, with members in a variety of fields all over the world. The VT Chapter does quite a lot every year. Our goal for the 1999-2000 year is networking. We are trying to plan activities that will better our experience in the professional world of computing.
Members are women who are interested in computers.
The majority of members of the club are computer science majors, but women who are minoring in computer science or who simply take computer science classes and are interested in technology are always welcome. Thus, we have members in majors ranging from engineering to business. While the majority of members are undergraduate students, we do welcome graduate and international students, as well. The National AWC was founded in 1987. While the chapter here at Virginia Tech has only been an official chapter for two years now, a club for women who enjoy computing has been present in some form here at Tech for much longer.
