TONIGHT: Women in Tech Play!
by Raksha Muthukumar 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

DramaTech presents Empty Rooms, a reading of the new play by Annie Harrison "It’s the week of the Nationwide Developers Conference and the success of tech company Pegasus Corporation rides on computer developer Jennifer Keller. Her new program is revolutionary, but will the stress of a pending buyout, a savage rivalry with a co-worker, or intense media scrutiny cause her to buckle under the pressure? Will she change the world and preserve her legacy, or vanish forever into obscurity? *Empty Rooms focuses on the challenges women face in the tech industry."* http://www.calendar.gatech.edu/event/381231 :) Raksha Muthukumar BS of Computer Science | Georgia Institute of Technology, Class of 2017 President | Women @ College of Computing Resident Advisor | Women, Science & Technology House 704.236.8211
