I attended Pomona College, which is in a consortium with Mudd. Our CS departments coordinate with one another and students take classes at both schools.<p>More than 50% of CS majors in my graduating class were women. And far from having admissions preferences in favor of women, Pomona actually does the opposite. The college&#x27;s bylaws require an even distribution of men and women, leading to a higher admission rate for men (given that substantially more women apply for admission).<p>Women in our department definitely benefited from the same kind of efforts as Harvey Mudd: hiring women as faculty, providing summer research opportunities, and sponsoring participation in the broader community of women in CS (eg. through the Grace Hopper conference). I can&#x27;t speak for my classmates, but I&#x27;m sure the things that attracted me to the field - it&#x27;s fascinating and leads to good career opportunities - also attract women. If you could reduce the sexism I hear is endemic in the CS departments at many other schools I&#x27;m sure their graduating classes would also include more women.
