ODU's Women + Allies in Tech group promotes diversity and inclusivity with specific efforts focused on recruitment, retention, and leadership development.
The vision of WIT@ODU is to provide a welcoming environment which encourages individuals at all stages of their career to reach their full professional and personal potential by taking advantage of in-person and online networking opportunities, learning from and inspiring one another, and by fostering open dialogue about the unique challenges and issues faced by marginalized genders in technical fields.
