What is InWIC?
The goal of the Indiana Celebration of Women in Computing (InWIC)
conference is to provide a low cost, regionally-tailored, small
conference for women in computing. InWIC is a more intimate version
of the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in
Computing, and shares the same philosophy, supportive
environment, and goals.
What will happen at InWIC?
- InWIC will begin late on Friday afternoon. Dinner on Friday is
provided, as are accommodations at the Canyon Inn. InWIC will continue
through lunch on Saturday, and is followed by a Career Fair in the afternoon.
- Talks on cutting-edge technical issues and on social issues of
relevance to undergraduate and graduate women in computing will be
presented.
- Creative social opportunities to meet faculty members, students,
and area industry leaders.

Two keynote speakers:
Katie A. Siek,
Assistant Professor of
Computer Science at University of Colorado Boulder, where she leads
the Wellness Innovation and Interaction Lab. Her primary research
interests are in human computer interaction, health informatics,
and ubiquitous computing. More specifically, she is interested in how
sociotechnical interventions affect personal health and well being.
Her research is supported by the National Institutes of Health, the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the National Science Foundation
including a five-year NSF CAREER award.
She was an organizer for
InWIC 2006, the same year she received her Ph.D. in Computer Science
from
Indiana University.

Nadine Shillingford,
Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Software Engineering at
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT). She is a graduate of the Computer
Science
and Engineering department at the University of Notre Dame where her
research area was centered on routing solutions for wireless ad-hoc
and
mesh systems. She is the faculty advisor for the girls in Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science (gEECS) group and the RHIT CCDC
computer security defense team. Professor Shillingford's focus is on
introducing computer security awareness in K-12 students.

Who can attend InWIC?
The conference will bring together people from industry and Indiana
academic institutions. The program will be of interest to both
undergraduate and graduate students. Our previous conferences were
attended by women from small private schools (e.g., DePauw University,
Hanover College), engineering schools (e.g., Rose-Hulman Institute of
Technology), and large public state institutions (Indiana University,
Purdue University, and IUPUI).
