One IT Colleagues,

Please submit your campus nomination for the UC-wide Women in Technology (WIT) Committee’s annual UC Women Who Rock IT blog article. Consider a submission for a female-identifying colleague or team who made a significant contribution (large or small) at any time from last March to the present. The article will be published in the UC IT Blog this March, during Women’s History Month, and will highlight the contributions of women in tech across the UC system. Pleasefill out this nomination form to put yourself, a female-identifying colleague, or a female-identifying team member forward for this honor by Tuesday, Feb. 28 at noon. The contributions can highlight work that is tech oriented (in any field, from ed tech to software development to security and more) or work that reflects the mission and values of UC WIT.

In the nomination form, provide a short description (100 words) of the honorees’ achievements or contributions. When writing the description consider answering one or more of the following questions: What makes their achievement amazing? What was the impact of their achievement? How difficult was their challenge? How urgent was the issue they addressed? Did they handle a complex organizational change? Did they create a more inclusive environment? Did they advance the professional goals and aspirations of UC women in technology?

The local WIT committee is responsible for submitting a single entry and getting permission from the honoree to be included. A subcommittee of UC WIT will review and edit the final entries for publication.

Many thanks and cheers to all womxn who rock IT on a daily basis!

Sincerely,

Your UC Berkeley Women in Technology Committee Representatives:
