Join RIT Libraries, Women in Technology, and the College of Liberal Arts for this semester's Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Exploring the Information Age! The goal of this year's event is to boost the inclusion of traditionally underrepresented communities on Wikipedia. Take part in writing or editing articles about notable women in tech, LGBTQIA+ communities and people in computing, or any related topic on the information age.

Training, resources, and support will be available to empower participants to edit Wikipedia. No experience is necessary. Refreshments will be provided. 

People of all gender identities and expressions are welcome. Come for half an hour or stay as long as you would like! Access services are available by request at http://myaccess.rit.edu.
