Inclusive Computing Research Program
Are you an undergrad from underrepresented groups and are interested in computing?
Are you curious about research and grad school in computing and intersecting fields?
Are you interested in solving real-world problems in a team of students from diverse backgrounds and get paid for it?
The Department of Computer Science is launching the “Inclusive Computing Program” – a new research-focused workshop and mentorship program sponsored by the Google exploreCSR program. The program aims to engage UR undergraduate students from underrepresented groups with diverse computing research, career pathways, and practical skill development.
- Who are we looking for?
- 30 undergraduate students from historically underrepresented groups in computing, especially female, underrepresented minority, LGBTQ+, first-generation college students, as well as students with accessibility needs
- What will the program offer?
- Workshop: A 2-hour workshop in November to introduce research opportunities in computing and connect the students with previous/existing researchers from underrepresented communities
- Research opportunity: 45-hours paid hands-on research experience with an academic mentor during the 2020-2021 academic year
- Networking: lunch with a mentor and an invitation to attend undergraduate research conferences
- How to apply?
- Submit your application by Oct 30th, 2020 at https://tinyurl.com/InclusiveComputing
- Results will be announced in early November
- Any questions?
- Please contact Dr. Ehsan Hoque (mehoque@cs.rochester.edu) and Dr. Zhen Bai (zbai@cs.rochester.edu) if you have any questions or want to know more about the program
