The second annual 'Women in Tech Day' is coming up on Tuesday, February 5th! Created through a collaboration between Pulse, WECE, and WCS, 'Women in Tech Day' is a day dedicated towards celebrating the accomplishments
of women in technology and research. We aim to bring together bright minds through a variety of events to foster inspiration and celebration about gender diversity and provoke conversations that matter. Our 'Women
