Careers in computer and data science are expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations.

As a result, Talitha Washington, Ph.D., C’96; Pia Wilson-Body, C’87; Andrea Lawrence, C’68; and Karina Liles, Ph.D., C’2007, continue to take aim at that scenario by pumping more diversity into the field and doing their part to close the gap.
