Women in Computing (WINC) fosters an inclusive community of 300+ students of all genders and computing-engineering majors through mentorship, technical workshops, and flagship events like RoseHack (UCR's most extensive and Inland Empire's largest women-centric hackathon).
This campaign also supports student opportunities beyond campus, such as big tech company tours (DreamWorks in November 2026), and travel to the Harvard University WECode Conference, where members connect with industry leaders and expand their pathways in tech.
