We provide professional development and networking opportunities for employees, affiliates, and students. Our objective is to create a more diverse and inclusive environment through outreach, talks and events. The monthly events are structured to drive conversations around our experiences as women in the workplace, develop professional skills, and to create and strengthen professional relationships. Women@NCSA hopes to empower and provide a network of support within NCSA, UIUC, and the community.
