HYBRID: Panel on imposter syndrome and transitioning to the workplace

DATE CHANGE: This event has been changed from Feb. 21st to Feb. 26th.

NOTE: This event will be both in-person AND online, to support the convenience of all of our members. ❤️

Madison Women in Tech is excited to co-host this hybrid panel with the UW Google Developer Student Club and ColorStack!

Many of us from underrepresented communities struggle at one time or another with imposter syndrome, or feeling like we don't belong - especially in the tech industry. If so, you're not alone!

Join us for this panel on how to deal with the challenges that can arise from feeling like an imposter, especially if you're transitioning to the workplace from university, or switching to tech from a different field.

All genders are welcome at this event.
