Given the importance of technology for U.S. innovation and economic advancement, there is a national imperative to grow and diversify the computing talent pool. Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) play a large role in cultivating inclusive learning environments for students from underrepresented groups through scholarship, service, and leadership. In this CUE Pathways project, a team of eight California community colleges will collaborate with the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to examine and enhance the servingness aspect of MSIs. The team will study how to move from enrolling racially diverse students in computing to serving them in ways that more effectively increase persistence, graduation, and career placement outcomes. The project’s research activities will focus specifically on the effects of transfer pathways across the two- and four-year institutions and assess the adoption of servingness activities and practices along the transfer continuum on students’ graduation and career success.This project is a collaboration created between computing programs at the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) and eight partnering California community colleges (Cañada College, City College of San Francisco, City College of San Mateo, De Anza College, Foothill College, Hartnell College, Mission College, and San Jose City College). The project has three primary aims: 1) adapt, refine, and implement a servingness framework to identify and remove institutional barriers for Transfer students in Computing, 2) improve servingness in Computing at UCSC by identifying strategies for adoption that support equitable persistence and graduation for Transfer students, and 3) assess the effectiveness of UCSC's adoption of a servingness framework, policies, and practices in advancing equity in graduation, graduate school, and career placement rates for transfer students in computing. The proposed servingness framework, as described by Lozano, Franco, and Subbian (2018), along with Garcia, Núñez, and Sansone (2019), will substantially contribute to a growing body of evidence showing how policy, instruction, student support systems, and other culturally relevant praxis can increase student success in computing. Project activities will yield model action plans, a theory of action, and recommended appropriate, replicable, and scalable interventions for institutions facing similar computing persistence and success challenges.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

鉴于技术对美国创新和经济发展的重要性，国家必须发展和多样化计算人才库。少数民族服务机构（MSI）通过奖学金，服务和领导力，在为代表性不足的群体的学生培养包容性学习环境方面发挥着重要作用。在这个CUE路径项目中，一个由八所加州社区学院组成的团队将与加州大学圣克鲁斯分校（UCSC）合作，研究和加强MSIs的服务性方面。该团队将研究如何从招收不同种族的学生进入计算，以更有效地提高持久性，毕业和职业安置结果的方式为他们提供服务。该项目的研究活动将特别侧重于跨两年制和四年制院校的转移途径的影响，并评估采用服务活动和实践沿着转移连续体对学生的毕业和职业成功的影响。该项目是加州圣克鲁斯大学（UCSC）和八所合作的加州社区学院的计算机项目之间的合作（Cañada College，City College of San弗朗西斯科，City College of San Mateo，De Anza College，Foothill College，Hartnell College，使命学院和圣何塞城市学院）。该项目有三个主要目标：1）适应，完善和实施服务框架，以确定和消除转学生在计算方面的制度障碍，2）通过确定支持转学生公平持久性和毕业的采用策略来提高UCSC计算方面的服务性，以及3）评估UCSC采用服务框架，政策，和做法，在推进平等的毕业，研究生院，就业安置率的转学生在计算。正如Lozano，Franco和Subbian（2018）以及Garcia，Núñez和Sansone（2019）沿着所描述的那样，拟议的服务框架将为越来越多的证据做出重大贡献，这些证据表明政策，教学，学生支持系统和其他文化相关的实践可以提高学生在计算方面的成功。项目活动将产生示范行动计划、行动理论，并为面临类似计算持久性和成功挑战的机构推荐适当的、可复制的和可扩展的干预措施。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
