Welcome to the Women in Computing Student Leader team!
Please read carefully each step of the onboarding below and use it as a resource and guide for your journey as a Student Leader. If you have any questions, please email us at wic@eait.uq.edu.au.
And most importantly, have fun!
2. Uniform and code of conduct
The official WiC uniform is a purple WiC shirt and black bottoms. This can be black pants, skirts, or shorts. Please ensure they are an appropriate length. Also, don't forget to use comfortable, closed-in shoes – sneakers are always welcome!
Representing UQ and Women in Computing
As a Student Leader, at any event you represent both UQ and WiC. Our leaders have an impeccable reputation within UQ’s community but also schools all over Queensland, please always keep this in mind. Here are some tips to make a great impact in our events:
- Be a good example: This means being courteous, helpful, cooperative and honest in your interactions with others. You should avoid inappropriate jokes, stories, pictures, discussions, swearing, or any other behaviour that could offend or harm someone else. Racism, stereotyping, bullying, or any other form of discrimination is not tolerated and will be dealt with accordingly.
- Be punctual: Remember to include time for parking, sign-in/check-in and walking to the classroom. We suggest arriving around 30 minutes early to each event/school visit.
- Emergencies: If you are unwell or have an emergency, please give as much notice as possible so we can find a replacement or a backup.
- Carry your blue card: You must bring your blue card to each school visit. See how to obtain yours in the Important Documents step.
- Do your research: be informed about the presentation topics, studying at UQ, all our programs, and activites. See the Event Resources step for a list of useful materials.
- Be safe: Follow workplace health and safety at all times. If you have questions, ask the school representative or the WiC team.
