Career Pathway Panel and Resource Event.
What you’ll get out of it:
The modern world revolves around data and technology. The National Association of Colleges & Employers ranks technological skills as one of the top competencies sought by employers. Join us for a women-led panel with established professionals to learn about the role of data and computer science across industries. Discover the different ways to build these skills during your time at UO by taking advantage of majors, minors, clubs, or library events. Make connections with faulty and peers and meet industry professionals to ask your questions.
Women have played a major part in the development of the modern tech industry. Still, women earn only about 18% of computer science bachelor’s degrees in the United States while the industry employment rate is expected to grow much faster than other occupations. Although this event prioritizes female and female identifying role-models in tech, all are encouraged to participate.
This event is hosted by the Women in Technology (WiT) Club and is sponsored by the School of Computer and Data Science.
Event Schedule:
Panel discussion – 11:30AM – 12:30PM
Campus resource fair – 12:45 – 2:00PM

Join the Department of Geography for the Colloquium Series talk with Chelsea Nestel on “Aesthetics in Cartography: A Genealogy of ‘Really Good’ Maps”.
Nestel is the David and Nancy Petrone GIS librarian at the University of Oregon Libraries. They are the subject matter liaison for the Department of Geography. Chelsea is also co-chair of the International Cartographic Association working group Next Generation Cartographers.
“Aesthetic epistemology is integral to how maps are made, experienced and used, but aesthetics remains a neglected topic in cartographic theory. Using concordance analysis, a method from linguistics, I develop a genealogy of cartographic aesthetics. My genealogy explores how European-American cartography arrived at its current design-based aesthetic epistemologies through studying six aesthetic key words: design, aesthetics, taste, beauty, art, and style. I interpret the histories of these key words through the philosophy of aesthetics and conclude with a discussion of aesthetics and the values of cartography.” --Chelsea Nestel
This event is also available on Zoom: https://uoregon.zoom.us/j/96715179600.
