Welcome to the WHPC September 2018 newsletter. We can’t quite believe that September is here already! As the year marches on, we are of course getting ready for our biggest events of the year at the annual SC conference, and we are providing you with a sneak preview below. Make sure you register for the conference soon to take full advantage of the Early Bird discount that is available until 14 October 2018.
Also this month, we bring you a couple of interesting diversity news articles. As always, we love to share these with you, but we also like sharing what our readers are doing. If you have something you would like to share with the WHPC audience about your work or diversity in the workplace, or something you are doing at SC18, please get in touch!

Six Women in Computing Share Their Perspectives on Why Women are Underrepresented in Computing
In response to an essay by a male computer science professor at the University of Washington (UW) that erroneously argued that women don’t study computing due to biological differences, six UW-affiliated women in computing shared their perspectives in a Seattle Times article.
In the short essays that comprise the article, the women describe their experiences and explain what they believe is keeping women out of the tech industry.
