ABI.SV Leaders Deepti Steph Jessica Lilit

In 1987, computer scientist Anita Borg started a digital community to connect women working in computing fields. She called it Systers. Her goal was to help these women feel like they were part of something bigger. A community, she believed, would encourage more women to pursue careers in technology and make them more inclined to stay in the field. Dr. Anita Borg, PhD Courant Institute New York University Systers (1987), GHC (1994), Institute for Women in Technology (1997), Renamed Anita Borg Institute (2003)
