The Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference 2005; Albuquerque, NM; October 19-20, 2005

该特别项目奖为计算机械协会提供旅费，供本科生、研究生和MSI教职员工参加2005年10月19日至20日在新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基举行的2005年理查德·塔皮亚计算多样性庆祝大会。它让学生有机会与在会议上发表技术报告的众多研究人员进行互动。此外，学生们自己可以在海报会议和博士联盟中展示他们的作品。因此，塔皮亚会议为来自计算土著美国人、西班牙裔美国人和非裔美国人的少数族裔群体的学生提供了一个独特的、支持性的环境，让他们与一系列研究人员进行知识对话。它还为微星技术学院的教职员工提供了建立技术联系和网络的机会。

This Special Project award gives the Association for Computing Machinery travel funds for undergraduate, graduate student, and MSI faculty to attend the 2005 Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference, October 19-20, 2005 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It gives students an opportunity to interact with the many researchers giving technical presentations at the conference. In addition, the students themselves can present their work in poster sessions and a PhD Consortium. The Tapia Conference thus provides a unique, supportive environment for students from the underrepresented minority groups in Computing Native Americans, Hispanics, and African Americans to engage in intellectual discourse with a range of researchers. It also gives MSI faculty a chance to make technical contacts, and network.
