The Ana G. Méndez University System (AGMUS) and its institutions - Universidad del Este (UNE), Universidad del Turabo (UT), and Universidad Metropolitana (UMET) - in collaboration with universities in Puerto Rico - the University of Puerto Rico, Inter American University (IAU), Universidad Politécnica de Puerto Rico (UPPR), and the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) - proposes to create an alliance to forming the Caribbean Computing Center for Excellence (CCCE). Additional partners for this project include the Puerto Rico Department of Education, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Computer Society Chapters in San Juan and Mayaguez, public and private high schools, INTECO and INTENOR (consortia of municipalities, institutions of higher education and industrial partners from the north and central east of the Island), the industrial and business community of Puerto Rico, and community-based associations in Puerto Rico. Extended partnerships include a number of research institutions on the US mainland and abroad. The CCCE aims to increase the recruitment and retention of students in the computing disciplines, with an emphasis on students from the underrepresented groups. It will recruit high school seniors with hands-on research experiences in university settings, deliver professional development to in-service high school teachers, provide undergraduates with a rich set of research opportunities in Puerto Rico, on the mainland and abroad, and work to prepare undergraduates for graduate school success.

安娜·G门德斯大学系统（AGMUS）及其机构-埃斯特大学（UNE），图拉博大学（UT）和大都会大学（UMET）-与波多黎各大学合作-波多黎各大学，美洲大学（IAU），波多黎各理工大学（UPPR），和维尔京群岛大学（UVI）-建议建立一个联盟，形成加勒比卓越计算中心（CCCE）。该项目的其他合作伙伴包括波多黎各教育部、圣胡安和马亚圭斯的电气和电子工程师协会计算机协会分会、公立和私立高中、INTECO和INTENOR（岛屿北部和中东部的市政当局、高等教育机构和工业伙伴组成的财团）、波多黎各工商界，以及波多黎各的社区协会。扩展的合作伙伴关系包括美国大陆和国外的一些研究机构。CCCE旨在增加计算机学科学生的招聘和保留，重点是来自代表性不足群体的学生。它将招募在大学环境中具有实践研究经验的高中毕业生，为在职高中教师提供专业发展，为本科生提供在波多黎各，大陆和国外的丰富研究机会，并努力为本科生做好准备。
