Before we start, I would like to clarify that I know the subject line will not compile in... Probably any language? Even with the necessary variables defined and typed. If you can think of a way it would, let me know because now I'm curious. That being said, we have some AMAZING events planned tomorrow with one of our favorite CAP partners, Google!¡! Here are the deets: "Ask Me Anything" Lunch: 11:00-1:00 in CCB 345 (third floor of the CoC) Imposter Syndrome Talk/Googler Panel: 6:00-8:00 in Van Leer W200 These events will be a great chance to chat with some Googlers, hear about some of their experiences as women in tech, and ask them... well, anything! Both events will have food and quite possibly some swag :) Hope to see you all there! ~Andrea PS. The Imposter Syndrome Talk date is not a typo, there was a bit of miscommunication and I was under the impression the talk was scheduled for Tuesday. So sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

Hey everyone! Hope your semesters are off to a great start. As some of you may know, the first meetings for all CoC orgs are happening tomorrow (Tuesday, 8/25). W@CC specifically will be meeting at 6:30 in CCB 340. This meeting will be mostly about logistics, introductions, getting feedback from returning W@CC members and suggestions from all. Our first events with corporate sponsors start next week, so if you can't make it tomorrow, don't worry about it! We'll keep you guys posted, and *hopefully* by the end of this weekend, we'll get the website and everything else up to date. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns :) Andrea Fletcher Computer Science/Georgia Tech, Class of 2016 Denning Technology & Management Scholar Women@CC President CS 3600 Head Teaching Assistant Undergraduate Researcher 678-343-1790 acfletch53(a)gatech.edu
