Welcome to Newcomb Institute’s Sophie Lab!
The Sophie Lab educates undergraduates about the importance of diversity and inclusion in STEM. It is a curated digital space that communicates Newcomb Institute’s role in working towards gender equity in STEM through undergraduate programming. This site showcases different STEM projects of Newcomb Institute undergraduates. It also provides educational resources for undergraduates to help bridge the gender gap in STEM. This project, specifically, promotes feminist leadership in technology-centered communities through student programming and digital scholarship.
I highly recommend that any woman interested in technology attend the Grace Hopper Celebration. It was a transformative week both personally and professionally. The network and internship opportunities that arose from attending were incredible.

I am incredibly grateful for the Newcomb Tech programs. They are the reason why I have found a job post-grad that allows me to do what I enjoy and what I am good at. These programs have given me the opportunity to lead in a way I never would have imagined for myself and they have given me access to innumerable resources/jobs/professionals/etc.

I genuinely don't believe I would feel as included and comfortable in the tech community without the programs from Newcomb Tech Initiatives. They've given me confidence in my abilities to work on teams and be a leader among my peers too. I really cannot overstate the value these programs have given me during my undergraduate time here at Tulane!

I have already gotten an internship because they were impressed with the Scrum experience on my resume. DRI has prepared to me to work on a dev team anywhere.

One of my favorite parts about DRI is how helpful everyone is how willing everyone is to learn and how everyone wants to grow on the team.

With the DRI I’ve had the chance to learn about so many cool projects that different Tulane faculty have been working on and its broader my interests and connections greatly.
- Lindsay Hardy -
I’m very grateful to be able to bridge my two interests, neuroscience and economics, which are often thought of as separate and different, through the DRI.
- Erica Casareno -
The internship has grown in meaning throughout my two years on the DRI from an opportunity to gain experience, to a network of friends and mentors, providing me with the chance to connect with other Tulane students who have similar interests to me.

I’ve always admired the social justice aspect of Newcomb Institute, and it has taught me a lot about my surroundings that I wouldn’t have realized.
- Sarah Fox -
With the DRI I’ve been able to gain experience with numerous projects across many different fields, and I’ve learned how to apply my knowledge of the Digital Humanities to different fields and sometimes in unconventional ways.
- Emily O’Connell -
With the DRI I have the opportunity to gain experience in tech related projects and tech related fields before going out into the work force.
