Donation Spotlight: Harvard Women in Computer Science

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of working with the group Harvard Women in Computer Science. We donated some product to them, and in return, one of their members was able to answer some of our questions about who they are and what they stand for. We spoke to JN, and she was great!

Name Tag: What is the name of your company or organization? Do you have a mission statement?

JN: Harvard Women in Computer Science organized our first annual Women Engineers Code (WECode) conference this past weekend. We are dedicated to building a network of technical women across universities and industries. We believe every girl should have equal opportunity and encouragement to pursue a technical field and we strive to promote awareness and build a community at Harvard and beyond.

Name Tag: What was donated to you? How will it help your organization?
JN: Coller Industries was kind enough to donate 11, 2×3 engraved name badges for the committee members running the event. The committee had worked so hard to make this 300 person conference possible and it was wonderful to have such a professional and unique recognition of their efforts. The badges also streamlined the functionality of the conference itself since attendees knew they could go to members wearing the badges to ask questions.

Name Tag: If you could describe your organization in three words, what would they be?

JN: Technical, Female, Community

Name Tag: Do you have any other comments you would like to add?

JN: Thank you so much for working with us to make this possible. It was our first year holding the conference, and the first time many of the committee members had ever worked on a conference. It was great to have the name tags as a surprise gift for them to wear on the day of the conference because it recognized their efforts and legitimized our event. We look forward to building this relationship with Coller Industries.
