WHPC Chapter @ SDSC
Mission
For 40 years, SDSC has stewarded its national reputation as an innovator and leader in high-performance, data-intensive computing and cyberinfrastructure. Many women professionals have been trailblazers in their academic and research spaces and have guided other women professionals in their chosen careers. As a WHPC Chapter at SDSC, we foster a supportive culture. This official mechanism is designed to support further women professionals, students and faculty engaged in using or working on HPC resources, data solutions, science gateways and other academic computing resources. We aim to extend our commitment to inclusivity by actively supporting members from minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institutions.
Goals
- Share career experience from women professionals and allies at UC San Diego, SDSC, and other collaborative institutions in southern California with women early-career professionals, students, faculty and allies via networking events and activities
- Provide professional development program opportunities via training programs and activities hosted by SDSC projects
- Support students, faculty and early/new career professionals to attend conferences, workshops and other professional development opportunities.
