Women in Computer Science: Building Careers at BC

In this episode of Discover Boston College, host George Kaparis ’27 sits down with Katherine Kelly ’26 and Christine Lee ’26, co-presidents of Women in Computer Science (WiCS), to explore how the organization supports, uplifts, and empowers women pursuing tech at BC. From mentorship pairings and course roundtables to alumni panels and cross-club collaborations, WiCS works to close representation gaps while helping students navigate the challenges of CS coursework and the tech job market. Katherine and Christine share their own journeys in computer science, offer advice for first- and second-year students entering the field, and highlight the power of community in shaping confidence and long-term success.
