I am so grateful for my time on the WICS exec, and all the skills and friendships I made. During my time as president, I led the first ever WICS industry mentorship program, helped facilitate more co-operation between the computer science clubs, and strengthened WICS’ connections with tech organizations across Canada. I am now completing a term as president of the U of M Computer Science Student Association, and looks forward to working with WICS in my new role!

Hey! I'm Ronnie, the graphic designer for WICS. It's been a lot of fun to design posters (and sometimes even apparel) for this club and I'm excited to be able to help out! I'm entering my 4th year but I was lucky enough to find out about WICS in my second year and made my first poster for a meetup. I really appreciate the change of pace from programming that designing provides, and enjoy a chance to engage my creative side! If you have any thoughts about a particular poster feel free to share them with me (although I don't design all of them!)

Yo, I'm Linds. I'm the interclub liaison for WICS💙, and I'm quite excited to do stuff for the club. I've really liked programming ever since I've been introduced to it, and I'm quite happy to be exploring computer science further. In my free time I like to write, draw, and play video games. I really like talking about those subjects, so if you want to talk to me about them - it's usually not a no!😃
