Women Working in Technology (WWiT) is an initiative of the Center for Information and Communication Sciences (CICS) and receives support from the College of Communication, Information and Media at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Formed in 2008, WWiT promotes and supports technology careers for individuals in high school and beyond. For example, our annual conference brings together high school students, college students, and technology professionals for a day of networking and learning.
Since 2008, CICS has recruited support and sponsorship for its WWiT initiative from generous organizations including the Lumina Foundation, Interactive Intelligence, Best Buy, Cisco, Six Feet Up and charitable alumni. These sponsors made it possible for students to attend the conference at no cost and allow professionals to attend at a reasonable cost.
