• We strive to reduce barriers for women in IT through personal and professional development, networking, social and educational programming and coaching opportunities. 
• We provide a forum for women and allies to foster collaboration and supportive relationships for across Purdue University and the greater IT community.

Handling Non-promotable Work/Tasks
Facilitated by: Krista Dunger, University of Michigan

Often, we might be assigned non-promotable tasks without realizing the impact they have on our overall well-being and career path. We will collaborate in groups and listen to how folks have recognized they are being assigned non-promotable tasks and ways to navigate them. What will this project do for me? How do folks outside of my team see this work? How am I being perceived? What can *I* do about it?
