how a women’s support group in a computer science and engineeringdepartment can provide support for women in personal growth, social encouragement, andacademic exposure.Studies found that the top four influencing factors for whether or not young women decide topursue a Computer Science degree are: social encouragement, self-perception, academicexposure, and career perception [1]. Social encouragement can come from parents, friends,faculty/staff, or peer. It is a major factor in girls’ decision to explore and pursue career in STEMand computing. A support group provides an excellent vehicle for these factors by offeringworkshops, social events, outreach activities, and mentoring.In 2013, we started a support group WiCSE (Women in Computer

Developmental stages of Self-Authorship (after [9]).Without an intentional intervention, most undergraduate students — and even college graduates— define themselves through external formulas, rather than self-authoring their beliefs [11] -[15] [9] [6]. However, evidence shows that with appropriate support, this can be changed. Thereare several types of experiences that produce higher degrees of self-authorship amongundergraduates [16] [17]. These include experiencing dissonance in academic settings, beingchallenged to evaluate knowledge claims and take ownership of beliefs, encountering diverseperspectives, and addressing tragedy or complex personal relationships.

STEM careers provide an essential driving force behind new innovations and growth in theUnited States. STEM fields have seen a job growth rate three times that of non-STEM careers,and are continuing to grow [2]. Despite efforts to increase the number of STEM graduates, TheUnited States is struggling to supply enough qualified workers to fulfill these demands.
