UCSB WIT provides an inclusive, supportive community that empowers women, non-binary, and gender non-conforming community members at UCSB to pursue and enhance careers in information technology (IT). It welcomes allies of all genders who support this mission.
Our goal is to help women, non-binary, and gender non-conforming members achieve success and workplace resilience while working in an IT field.
UCSB WIT meets every other month to network, provide training, host guest speakers, share resources, and identify campus partnerships and outreach opportunities. We promote a diverse and inclusive work space while building a collaborative community within the UC IT field/workforce.
Achieving equity in IT takes all of us. We invite people of all gender identities to join our meetings, share our resources, and act as advocates in the workplace.
We aim to create a supportive environment that allows the WIT coalition to:
- Build working relationships on campus
- Improve outreach to communities underrepresented in IT
- Engage in professional growth and skill sharing
- Develop mentoring opportunities for employees and students
- Share resources and help others navigate a complex work environment
- Develop leadership skills
- Help create a pipeline for students to enter IT on our campus or any other
- Foster allyship across all genders to advocate for equity in the IT workspace
