Attacking the Gathering Storm in Computer Sciences and Mathematics (STORM)

该项目向有才华的学生颁发奖学金，以增加完成计算机科学或数学本科学位的学生的数量和多样性。学生从当地中学和社区学院招募，每年提供12个奖学金。一些旨在提高学术成就的项目组成部分有助于这一努力的智力价值。其中包括：结合适当级别的数学课程，创建计算机科学和数学学生的队列组;提供学生，教师学生和行业学生的指导计划和研讨会;并通过研究项目和实习机会激励学生。一个多元化的管理团队也到位，包括在两个部门，金融服务的主任部门的教师领导，以及学院院长住房计算机科学和数学系。校园内的其他学生支持服务单位也参与其中。在更广泛的影响方面，该项目正在通过其财政，学术和实际支持，促进有才华的西班牙裔在计算机科学和数学领域的参与。这导致人才基础和新毕业人员的多样性增加，无论是进入劳动力市场还是攻读高等学位。

This project is awarding scholarships to talented students to increase the quantity and diversity of students who complete undergraduate degrees in computer science or mathematics. Students are recruited from both local secondary schools and community colleges, with twelve scholarships offered annually. A number of project components that are designed to increase academic success contribute to the intellectual merit of this effort. These include: combining appropriate-level classes in mathematics to create cohort groups of computer science and mathematics students; providing student-student, faculty-student, and industry-student mentoring programs and workshops; and motivating students through opportunities for research projects and internships. A diverse management team is also in place including department faculty leaders in the two departments, the Director of Financial Services, and the Dean of the College housing the computer science and mathematics departments. Additional student support services units on campus are also involved. In terms of broader impacts the project is promoting increased participation of talented Hispanics in the fields of computer science and mathematics through its financial, academic, and practical support. This is leading to an increase in the talent base and diversity of newly graduated persons entering either the workforce or pursuing advanced degrees.
