Students heard inspiring keynote speeches, attended workshops, expanded their network, met with company and higher education sponsors during the Career &amp; Expo Hall, and felt empowered surrounded by a community of women and allies in the tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Increasing access and inspiring belief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The reality of attending a conference like GHC, especially out of state, feels out of reach for many students once they consider the costs to attend. Knowing this and recognizing the impact the GHC experience has on students is one of many reasons why the Division of CSS continues to sponsor the GHC conference every year and award full student scholarships to attend the conference in person or virtually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>For Greeshma Sree Parimi, a current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/graduate\/mscsse\">Master of Science in Computer Science &amp; Software Engineering<\/a> (MSCSSE) student who attended GHC in person, the scholarship made the trip accessible. \u201cIt meant that I could fully immerse myself in the conference without the financial burden that often comes with attending such events,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attending a large conference can also feel a bit overwhelming and intimidating.

forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powell met a woman at GHC who was developing a VR application to help women practice tough work conversations and saw the potential in following up with them to see if they\u2019d be willing to test it out with UW Bothell students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was wonderful how open everyone was to just starting up a conversation, about anything they are doing, and how everyone really listened and seemed invested in connecting,\u201d said Powell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shree Parimi had the chance to connect with several employers, exploring potential career opportunities and learning about the exciting projects and initiatives they\u2019re working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was an invaluable experience to engage with these organizations and gain insights into what they are looking for in candidates,\u201d she Shree Parimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Powell\u2019s networking conversations led to an interview with the Los Alamos National Laboratory the next day. She fondly remembers that it was the least scared and most relaxed she had ever felt going into an interview because of their conversation the previous day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainability-focused sessions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GHC had a lot of sessions, so many that attendees had to prioritize what they wanted to attend (which was no easy choice!). Powell is very interested in green tech, so she was thrilled to see that there were several sustainability-focused sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFarm-to-Plate AI\u201d from MathWorks was her favorite. It gave her an opportunity to use MATLAB for the first time and brought her together with a new friend, a student at the University of Missouri &#8211; St. Louis who shares her same interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe got to see how to simulate a drone&#8217;s flight through a field and how computer vision and AI can help with every step of a mango&#8217;s journey to the table,\u201d said Powell. \u201cThe strides that are being made in agrotech are going to have a huge impact on climate change initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Growth experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Students that attend GHC end the conference with new skills, inspiration, confidence, connections, career strategies, and a reinforced belief in the importance of diversity and inclusion in the tech industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:45% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/12\/stem-students-ghc2023-group-standard-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Looking down from the second story balcony to see hundreds of people filling the hall waiting for the expo hall to open.\" class=\"wp-image-30119 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/12\/stem-students-ghc2023-group-standard-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/12\/stem-students-ghc2023-group-standard-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/12\/stem-students-ghc2023-group-standard-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/12\/stem-students-ghc2023-group-standard-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/12\/stem-students-ghc2023-group-standard-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/12\/stem-students-ghc2023-group-standard-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/12\/stem-students-ghc2023-group-standard-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/12\/stem-students-ghc2023-group-standard-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/stem\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/12\/stem-students-ghc2023-group-standard-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>When Powell thought about her experience, she realized it was not so scary to attend big conferences filled with software developers competing for jobs.
