This event is intended to help alums interested in tech as a potential career, working in tech, or looking to make a career pivot into tech. All panelists included have made career shifts into the technology industry from seemingly “non-traditional” backgrounds, i.e. not a developer. The goal is to demystify the industry, enlighten attendees on the opportunities available to them, particularly those that are in non-technical fields, and to encourage more women to consider careers in tech.

Grace Kung ’10 (Mathematics, Economics) – Finance to Tech transition
Sarah Capasso-Kosan ’11 (Anthropology) – Legal to Venture Capital
Mina Bansal ’17 (Economics) – Fashion to Data Analytics
