Women In Computing at RIT

🏆 Ally of the Week 🏆

Ever since the beginning of the year, Mark has been there with me and my friends to attend every Women in Cybersecurity or Women in Computing meeting and event, even though he expressed discomfort in the idea initially. My friends and I appreciate his support in the programs that we attend, and he always manages to be a great person to talk to and even makes a point to participate in any activities that the event holds :) Overall, Mark is just a really cool, kind, and funny guy that I think deserves a shoutout. Thank you for your support, Mark, and for always hanging around!
