This event is open to all students who identify as females in high school in Fall 2018. Information will be geared towards Juniors and Seniors. 1 Parent/Guardian is welcome to attend, but must register in advance (on the same form) and will attend a different program.
Activities for the day include:
-Admissions Overview
-NCWIT Aspirations in Computing Application Process
-UMD Honor's Programs
-Faculty Presentations
-Real Talk with current students in Computing
-Meet and Greet with Student Groups in Computer Science
-Discussion surrounding the degree transition to a Limited Enrollment Program (LEP)
--- Due to the size of the University of Maryland, certain majors are very popular and therefore require a limit on the number of students they can accommodate. These programs are then designated "Limited Enrollment Programs (LEP)". Students in an LEP major must successfully complete a specific set of courses by the semester in which they earn 45 credits. All students may apply for Limited Enrollment Programs.
Snacks and a light lunch will be provided.
