About Us

We are a group for women and PhD students of under-represented genders in Khoury College of Computer Science at Northeastern University. The group is meant to serve as a platform for networking, discussion of special interest topics, and as a neutral and safe social space for its members.

We have regular (bi-weekly) meetings during the academic school year. Sometimes our meetings include invited speakers or outings.
