On April 16, the National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT) regional affiliate for Central Pennsylvania hosted its awards ceremony at Millersville University. This year, Warwick had nine students recognized.
In order to be considered, students must apply, and complete several essays focusing on their future aspirations, passion for technology, and current abilities in working with technology and computer science-related fields. Each student must also submit a letter of recommendation from a Warwick Educator.
At the awards ceremony, students heard from Keynote speaker, Dr. Gail E. Gasparich, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs for Millersville University, about her journey in life. She shared both trials she faced and positive mentors that helped shape where she is today.
