This year, the expected graduating class of 119 students will be 34 percent female\u2014double the national average.<\/p>\n<p>This, despite a recent University of Washington study showing that computer science nationwide continues to be a male-dominated culture where many women feel they do not belong.<\/p>\n<p>Two factors have helped change that at Rochester.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Clusters provide a portal<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The need for computing skills now permeates virtually every academic field, including the humanities and social sciences. The University\u2019s unique open curriculum includes a cluster system that enables students to sample computer science courses, many for the first time, and then decide to continue with a minor or double major. \u201cWe may start with 25 percent female enrollment in our freshman class but gain more women who add or switch into computer science during their sophomore and junior years,\u201d says Marty Guenther, the department\u2019s undergraduate coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>Seventy-six percent of the women graduating in the department\u2019s class of 2016 were double majors, most of them also majoring in financial economics, digital media studies, linguistics, studio art, or mathematics.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_229252\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-229252\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-229252\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/GradRates-WomenCS-1-1024x652.jpg\" alt=\"Line chart showing rising percentage of women graduates in computer science\" width=\"1024\" height=\"652\" style=\"border:none;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/GradRates-WomenCS-1-1024x652.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/GradRates-WomenCS-1-630x401.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/GradRates-WomenCS-1-768x489.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/GradRates-WomenCS-1.jpg 1650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-229252\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Percentage of women in the graduating class from the University of Rochester\u2019s Department of Computer Science, 2010-2017.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>BRAID a turning point<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In 2014, the department became one of only 15 across the nation to join the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/anitaborg.org\/braid-building-recruiting-and-inclusion-for-diversity\/\">BRAID (Building Recruiting And Inclusion for Diversity)<\/a><\/strong> initiative funded by Facebook, Google, Intel, and Microsoft and administered by the Anita Borg Institute. \u201cHaving taught many courses over the years with one or two or, sometimes, no women in the class,\u201d says Sandhya Dwarkadas, the department\u2019s current chair and only female faculty member, \u201cI responded immediately to Maria Klawe\u2019s call to action during the Computing Research Association chairs\u2019 meeting at Snowbird in my first year as department chair to take proactive measures to help increase diversity in computer science. The positive response by 15 institutions led to Maria creating the BRAID initiative.\u201d Klawe is president of Harvey Mudd College.<\/p>\n<p>Participation by the department included stepping up its recruitment of females and underrepresented minorities, creating more accessible courses for its clusters and majors, doing outreach to K\u201312 students, and building community among its female and underrepresented minority students.<\/p>\n<p>BRAID also pays for female students to attend the annual three-day <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ghc.anitaborg.org\/\">Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing<\/a><\/strong>, the world\u2019s largest conference of women technologists. Students attend seminars on networking and workplace skills; hear female role models talk about their work; talk to alumni who took the same classes from the same professors and are now succeeding; and connect with companies. Many of the students return with internship or job offers or a promising schedule of interviews.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe BRAID initiative has really been a game changer,\u201d says Michael Scott, a professor of computer science who could afford to send only a handful of students to Grace Hopper during his 1996\u201399 tenure as department chair. Last fall, 26 students from computer science and data science attended the Hopper conference.<\/p>\n<p>Schmit\u2019s experience shows how important that can be. When she first attended Hopper as a senior in 2015, she was no longer convinced that web development\u2014around which she had built her undergraduate program\u2014was a career she wanted to pursue.<\/p>\n<p>At the Hopper conference that year she heard successful women in top positions talk about using data science in their work. It was a turning point for Schmit. She had enjoyed artificial intelligence in class, but did not realize how integral the field was in data science. \u201cBecause it was a relatively new field, I never thought I could find a job in it.\u201d After Hopper she knew otherwise and changed her career path accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>When she attended Grace Hopper last fall, \u201cit was so much nicer to be able to talk to companies and show them what I am passionate about,\u201d Schmit says, \u201cto see them being receptive to that and actually wanting me to work for them.\u201d Schmit also took a lead role in organizing the other students who attended, which included holding preconference sessions on r\u00e9sum\u00e9 writing and interview skills.<\/p>\n<p>The Grace Hopper conferences help build a sense of community among the female students who attend, which in turn has been a catalyst for Women in Computing (WIC), a subcommittee of the Computer Science Undergraduate Council (CSUG). WIC has about 100 members. Its meetings and events further the sense of community among female students.<\/p>\n<p>For example, at \u201ccoding parties,\u201d students work on problems together and share ideas. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to have a place where lots of girls are doing the same thing,\u201d says WIC president Euakarn (Som) Liengtiraphan \u201917.<\/p>\n<p>The group also has worked with CSUG and Dwarkadas to sponsor department \u201ctown hall\u201d meetings to address concerns among female students about professor approachability, TA sensitivity, and having study spaces where women feel comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>The University of Washington study identified \u201clack of pre-college experience\u201d as a contributing factor to female underrepresentation in computer science. The department has increased its outreach to female high school students through University summer programs. Its female students are also helping address the problem by working with Rochester-area schools and local Girl Scouts to introduce computing to young women.<\/p>\n<p>The events often include testimonials about the empowerment that comes with learning to code. When WIC visited the Harley School in Rochester this fall, Sarah Kingsley \u201917 told the students that she had been more interested in art than science when she attended Harley. Then she took her first coding class at the University of Rochester and \u201cfell in love,\u201d prompting her to major in computer science as well as studio arts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_227762\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-227762\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-227762\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sarah-kingsley.jpg\" alt=\"student helping another student at the laptop\" width=\"700\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sarah-kingsley.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sarah-kingsley-630x436.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-227762\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Kingsley &#8217;17 helps students learn coding at a Women in Computing tutoring event at the Harley School.

You figure it out, and it becomes addictive, and you figure out the next problem and then the next. That\u2019s something that connects us all together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t need a lot of experience . . . anybody can do (coding),\u201d adds Mikayla Konst \u201917, who initially planned to major in math but switched after taking her first computer science class. \u201cWhy do I like computer science? It\u2019s literally magic. I\u2019m putting words on a page, and it\u2019s doing these incredible things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guenther, who joined the department in 1992, can remember \u201cyears in a row\u201d when there were \u201cno women at all in the graduating classes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now the increasing presence of women is manifested in many ways. For example, nearly half of the student workshop leaders for introductory classes are women, providing role models for the women in those classes. Similar percentages of women participate on Rochester computing teams that compete against other colleges. That raises eyebrows among students from other schools. And it sends a message.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we\u2019re getting a reputation as a woman-friendly campus,\u201d Guenther says.<\/p>\n<p>Under Dwarkadas\u2019s leadership, the computer science department \u201chas been a wonderful partner in the BRAID project,\u201d says Cait Rogan, program manager for academic initiatives at the Anita Borg Institute<em>. <\/em>\u201cAlong with the 14 other BRAID schools, Rochester is truly helping to define what diverse and inclusive computer science education looks like in the 21st century.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2010 the computer science department\u2019s graduating class of 20 students included only one woman.
