Miami Dade College, California State University San Marco, and the University of Texas Pan-American propose a program-called SACI for "Scaling and Adapting Computing Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI) Inititatives" which will join with CAHSI and apply CAHSI best practices to advance student success among Hispanics and other groups underrepresented in computing fields. CAHSI is an NSF-funded Alliance with seven universities that has developed and demonstrated the effectiveness of a series of initiatives. The SACI partners will adapt five CAHSI strategies: (1) a new introductory course designed to attract students and prepare them for majors in computing fields, (2) a peer-led team learning structure, to provide academic support and motivation for students to persist in computing disciplines, (3) an affinity research group model, to promote undergraduate retention through early research experiences and prepare students for success in upper-division and graduate studies, (4) faculty and peer mentoring, to improve student retention and success, and (5) outreach workshops, to stimulate interest in computing careers among high school and undergraduate students and to disseminate project research and evaluation findings. SACI will join CAHSI, significantly extending the Alliance and its impact, and leveraging the Alliance's educational and research strengths; SACI will participate in the CAHSI Alliance-wide evaluation.

迈阿密戴德学院、加州州立大学圣马可分校和德克萨斯大学泛美分校提出了一项名为SACI的计划，该计划旨在与CAHSI合作，并应用CAHSI最佳实践，在拉美裔和其他在计算领域代表性较低的群体中促进学生的成功。CAHSI是一个由国家科学基金会资助的联盟，由七所大学组成，已经制定并展示了一系列倡议的有效性。SACI的合作伙伴将调整CAHSI的五个战略：(1)一个新的入门课程，旨在吸引学生并为计算机领域的专业做好准备，(2)同行主导的团队学习结构，以提供学术支持和学生坚持计算机学科的动力，(3)亲和力研究小组模式，通过早期研究经验促进本科生的保留，并为学生在高年级和研究生学习中的成功做好准备，(4)教员和同行指导，以提高学生的保留和成功，以及(5)外展工作坊，以激发高中和本科生对计算职业的兴趣，并传播项目研究和评估结果。SACI将加入CAHSI，大大扩展联盟及其影响，并利用联盟的教育和研究优势；SACI将参与CAHSI联盟范围的评估。
