CSE encourages and empowers everyone to participate fully as technologists and thought leaders in CS. We strive to further expand opportunities through outreach, education, and with connections to resources.
GEECS is a student organization that encourages the professional, academic, and social development of women in technology. The organization focuses on connecting women in tech and creating a supportive environment for all of its members and alumni. |
 Girls Encoded is a program to develop the pipeline of women in computer science as well as to retain the women who have entered into the program. The program has two focus areas: recruitment of women into the CSE department, and retention of women to graduation from the department. |
 ECSEL is a group to support graduate women students in CSE at U-M. The group aims to foster a sense of community among graduate women, support members' academic and career development, help incoming graduate students adapt and thrive in CSE, and generally enable a great graduate experience for our members. |
 MiBytes is a set of computer science summer camps intended for high school students from Detroit-area schools. Each of the immersive, hands-on camps offered this summer has been designed by CSE faculty with the goal of engaging, educating, and inspiring students who are curious about CS and its impact. |
 CS KickStart aims to improve the enrollment and persistence of women in the computer science program at U-M in order to give women a voice in shaping the future through technology, level the playing field in terms of academic and career opportunities, and benefit the field of computer science through the development of a talented and diverse workforce. |
The HTMLadies program is a series of three day-long events hosted by GEECS at U-M. The aim of the program is to teach high school students with little or no programming experience the basics of website creation and coding concepts. |
Computing CARES is a project, funded by U-M’s Third Century Grant, to improve gender diversity in the Computer Science and Computer Engineering undergraduate programs by improving climate for all students and increasing female student retention. The project includes a broad range of activities, inside and outside the classroom: from gender-neutral course projects, to gender balance in the teaching staff, to coaching professionalism and fairness, to peer mentoring and activities that help build a community.
