Support of Minority Faculty to Attend CSC '92 and SIGCSE '92, Kansas City, MO, March 1-7, 1992

该项目请求资助30名少数族裔教师参加在同一地点连续举行的ACM计算机科学大会和ACM SIGCSE计算机科学教育技术研讨会。正如过去几年的与会者所报告的那样，这是一项非常值得的努力。少数教员接触到研究文化是至关重要的，这种文化在这样的会议上得到了有效的展示。计划中的活动包括(1)针对少数族裔的独特计划的特别会议，(2)讨论少数族裔研究计划的资助机会的小组讨论，(3)就业登记，(4)以少数族裔为特色的学生活动，以及(5)主席计划中涉及在少数族裔机构管理计算机科学计划的特别会议。这笔资金将支持大约25名少数族裔教师参加3月3日至7日在堪萨斯城举行的ACM CSC 92、SIGCSE 92和一个提高他们技能的研讨会。少数族裔教员参加全国性会议，以便更好地融入研究和教育界，这一点很重要。这个项目代表着朝着这个方向做出的巨大努力。//

The project requests fund to participation of 30 minority faculty to attend the ACM Computer Science Conference and the ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education which run consecutively at the same site. This is an extremely worthwhile endeavor as reported by the past years participants. It is essential that minority faculty become exposed to the research culture which is effectively presented at conferences such as these. Among the planned activities are (1) special sessions addressing unique programs for minorities, (2) panels addressing funding opportunities for minority research programs, (3) an employment register, (4) student activities featuring minorities, and (5) a special session in the chair's program dealing with administering a computer science program at a minority institution. The funding will support attendance by approximately 25 minority faculty at the ACM CSC 92, the SIGCSE 92 in Kansas City, March 3 - 7, and one workshop to enhance their skills. It is important that minority faculty attend national conferences in order to become better integrated into the research and education communities. This project represents a strong effort in that directions.//
