计算机协会（ACM）建议支持学生参加理查德·塔皮亚计算多样性庆祝活动。Tapia会议系列突出了不同研究人员在计算方面的技术成就。它提供了一个独特的论坛来支持不同的学生（本科生和研究生）和专业人士。会议项目包括邀请演讲者、研讨会、专业讨论、小组讨论、学生海报竞赛和博士联盟。这些项目为学生和年轻专业人士提供了领导力发展活动。此外，他们还为研究合作和专业发展提供了大量的时间。该提案将支持2011年和2013年会议和博士联盟的学生奖学金，以及在此期间管理会议规划和资金筹集的工作人员的部分工资。工作人员将提供与Tapia支持者通信的稳定性和一致性，监督将支持在会议上形成的社区的社交网络，并提供后勤支持。

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) proposes to support student attendance at and development of the Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing. Tapia Conference series highlights the technical achievements of diverse researchers in computing. It provides a unique forum to support diverse students (undergraduates and graduate students) and professionals. The conference programs include invited speakers, workshops, birds-of-a-feather sessions, panels, a student poster competition and a doctorial consortium. The programs allow leadership development activities for the students as well as young professionals. Moreover, they include significant time for networking about research collaborations and professional development. This proposal will support student scholarships for the conference and the doctoral consortium in 2011 and 2013, and partial salary for a staff person to manage the conference planning and fund raising during that period. The staff person will provide stability and consistency in correspondence with Tapia supporters, oversight for the social networking that will support communities formed at the conference, and logistical support.
