Computer Science at Iowa State has a number of outstanding women students. Two of them are Cassidy and Camryn Williams. These sisters both major in Computer Science and aspire to make an impact not just on women in computing, but all students in computing. "This major seems to have a lot of students who are interested in exchanging skills, so we are always learning from others and sharing our own knowledge," commented Cassidy, in a recent interview for an upcoming feature in the spring issue of Atanasoff Today, the CS alumni publication.
