Administrative Assistant II

Department:

Center for Women in Technology (CWIT)

The Center for Women in Technology (CWIT), was established at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) in July 1998. Historical structural barriers have made access to our field more challenging for women. We are motivated to increase the presence of women and other underrepresented communities because we know that diverse perspectives are specifically connected to the achievement of excellence. We are dedicated to providing global leadership in achieving the full participation of students from all backgrounds, regardless of their race, sex, gender, gender identity, and/or national origin. 

Diversity, equity and inclusion are integral to the achievement of excellence in our classrooms and laboratories; therefore we are committed to attracting students who will broaden participation in the creation of technology in computing and engineering fields, which will strengthen the workforce. Our programs are designed to support women pursuing degrees and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics but are open to students of any sex, gender, and/or gender identity. These efforts will raise the standard of living for many who have not had access to these careers in the past and help to assure that technology addresses the needs of a community of people across diverse experiences, including, race, culture, sex, gender, gender identity, national origin, and other aspects of social identity.
