This is a list of universities, colleges (especially women's colleges), and related institutions that are specifically relevant to the cause of college or university women in computer science or technology. This list is meant to be especially useful for regular outreach, e.g., for summer internship programs such as Google Summer of Code. The notes currently added to the list are about spreadig the word about Google Sumer of Code 2012.
Please feel free to use a prepared e-mail to reach these women groups. If you can find contact information for one listed university and/or a university you went to, sends them the e-mail, and update the wiki page, it would be a huge help!

Single-sex colleges and universities
Right now these lists are very North America-centric because that's what I am personally concentrating on as I get the word out about GSoC to increase the number of women who apply for summer 2012. Feel free to change, divide up geographically, add, etc. And please remove colleges that have NO science/technology/engineering/mathematics curriculum.
