  In the School of Computing at the Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT),
Ireland, we undertook our Computer Science for All (CS4All) initiative, a five
year strategy to implement structural reforms at Faculty level, to address
recruitment and retention issues of female undergraduate computer science (CS)
students. Since 2012, under CS4All we implemented a variety of reforms to
improve student retention, set up a new CS program to attract more female
students, and delivered changes to promote a sense of community amongst our
female students. We have made significant improvements. For example, we have
achieved a dramatic improvement in retention rising from 45% to 89% in first
year progression rates. Our new hybrid CS International program has more than
double the percentage of females first year enrolments in comparison to our
other undergraduate programs. As at 2018, we continue to roll out the remaining
parts of CS4All within our School.
