Undergraduate Big/Little Sisters Program
| |
Who are we?
The purpose of the program is to strengthen the bonds
between women in SCS and encourage a forum for discussion and support. We
pair freshmen Little Sisters with upperclassmen Big Sisters. The Big Sister/Little
Sister relationship serves as an excellent way for first year girls to get
to know someone in the department whom they can look up to and ask for guidance.
Furthermore, the program encourages Big Sisters to share their experiences
and perceptions of computer science.
What do we do?
To kick-off the program each year, we hold a "Speed Dating" event where upperclassmen
and first years have the opportunity to meet each other and choose who they would like
to be their Sister. We then organize various fun activities where participants can spend
time with the other Sisters. Some sample activities are cookie decorating, arts & crafts,
pumpkin carving, iceskating, workshops like our Speaking Skills Workshop, and off-campus activities. Sisters are also encouraged to meet
one-on-one and get to know each other better.
How can you get involved?
If you would like to get involved in the Big Sister/Little
Sister program, please contact Trisha Quan or Elizabeth Kemp (program coordinators)
