  • As an individual that likes to travel and appreciate humanity’s various cultures, communities, and languages, I quickly got on board when an opportunity materialized itself in 2011 for me to lead, or be part of, numerous efforts to broaden the participation of underrepresented minorities in computing.
  • We have covered a lot of ground to enhance the footprint of underrepresented minorities in computing by improving the recruitment, retention, graduation and placement practices of minorities.
  • We are hoping that our work has helped boost the quality of the computing workforce by making our computing students and professionals feel more included, appreciated, treated equitably, and eager to propose their unique insights and perspectives to help solve problems. Work still needs to get done to diversify the computing workforce some more.
