As part of a broader Women in Computing campaign to improve the women students’ experience at Farmingdale State College (FSC) where women enrollment in computing degrees has been historically low, FSC hosted its second annual Summer (Re)Orientation Program for Women Computing students in August 2022. The recently approved Farmingdale State College ACM-W Student Chapter advisors and officers were instrumental in the planning and success of the event. A total of 34 students including male students representing the other computing related student clubs attended. The event included breakfast and lunch with table topics, a scavenger hunt, a technical workshop on Android app development with Kotlin, a panel discussion about what is tech, and ended with a team building activity. The goal of the event is for women students to have the opportunity to meet and bond with each other prior to the start of classes in a fun and engaging way.
