Founded by passionate University of Kentucky employees, Women in Technology (WIT) champions gender diversity in tech. Our group brings together talented women from diverse backgrounds who excel in various IT and technology fields. Whether a programmer, data scientist or cybersecurity expert, we celebrate women's contributions in technology and aim to empower future generations.
All genders are invited to join us as we empower women to thrive, share their expertise and shape the future of IT. We strive to break down barriers, amplify women’s voices, and foster collaboration through educational programming, mentoring and informal networking.
We recognize that women are often underrepresented in information technology and adjacent industries. WIT values equity in the structures that support women in their career development and the importance of a diverse workforce.
