Dominique DeGuzman: Talks on Intersectionality & The Brogrammer Culture
https://www.facebook.com/events/1086934891359151/
When: Tuesday 2/9, 7-9pm
Where: UU 220
Description:
RSVP HERE: goo.gl/8QSE4D

Dominique (Dom) DeGuzman (she/her) is a community-taught software engineer with a background in enterprise desktop hardware support and formalized public speaking. After years in hardware, Dom used building and provisioning Linux machines as a jumping point into software and tools development. As part of the Systems Engineering at Twilio team, she’s administratively responsible for systems such as LDAP, Jenkins, Cloudability and AWS.

Dom is a co-founder and co-organizer of the Diversity & Inclusion program at Twilio, and sits as an advisor for Twilio's Women's Organization and the LGBTQA Employee Resource Group. Outside of Twilio, Dom is the San Francisco City Director forLesbians Who Tech, an organization that highlights and elevates queer women in tech. She also helps organize two Diversity & Inclusion startup coalitions with over 20 other companies: the Diversity Advocates and the LGBTQ ERG Alliance.

Dom will have two ten minute talks: one focusing on intersectionality between Dom’s technical identities and identities outside of technology, and the other on the brogrammer culture. After a short 30 minute talk we hope to follow with an hour long discussion about intersectionality in our own lives. Media tends to focus on one part of the identity. It's actually pretty harmful because by highlighting one of these identities, it almost takes light away from another. Discussing intersectionality allows us to have a deeper understanding of the challenges we all face.

Lean In Circle: Technical Interviews
When: Thursday, 2/11 6-7pm
Where: 14-232B
Description:
Come join WISH for a Lean In Circle about How to Succeed in your Technical Interview! We all go through technical interviews when looking for jobs in our career, and it's hard not to be overwhelmed and nervous about them. For this circle, we'll be talking about what to expect in your technical interview, what interviewers are looking for, and how to be ready!

This Lean In Circle will be a little different from some of the previous ones we've had-- this time, we'll be talking about information provided to us by the Anita Borg Institute (the people who put on Grace Hopper)!

And as per usual, there will be donuts provided! (yum)
