AB  - Gender disparity in computing degree enrollment, a well-documented global and national issue, persists at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Consistent with these trends, enrollment in computing majors at XYZ college has doubled over the past decade while the percentage of women in these majors has remained steady at 8-15%. The short-term goal of this study was to explore the implementation of institutional initiatives to improve the experience of women in undergraduate computing degree programs. The long-term goal is to increase retention and recruitment to balance the gender disparity in enrollment. For this project, XYZ college designed and implemented multiple co-curricular support programs (initiatives). Despite scarce local opportunities for funding due to the global COVID19 pandemic, local funding was secured for these initiatives. This paper presents the three initiatives started at XYZ to address gender imbalance, including 1) maintaining the women in computing student club, 2) hosting a summer orientation program, 3) attending women-centric conference and field trips. Findings suggest positive implications for women in the computing degree programs of XYZ in terms of their experience as they complete their degree program at XYZ, their connection and sense of belonging to the field, and academic self-concept.
