BPC-AE: CAHSI: Computing Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions

德克萨斯大学埃尔帕索分校(UTEP)建议扩展拉美裔服务机构计算联盟(CAHSI)。CAHSI是一些领先的拉美裔理工科毕业生的联盟：加州州立大学多明格斯山庄分校、佛罗里达国际大学、新墨西哥州立大学、德克萨斯A&A；M-Corpus Christi分校、休斯顿市中心大学、波多黎各大学马亚圭兹分校和UTEP。它的目标是创造一个统一的声音，以增加攻读和完成计算机学士学位和高级学位的拉美裔学生的数量。它使用一个三重战略，促进解决招聘、留住和晋升问题的干预措施，以及社会科学研究，以及导致合作和统一努力的对话。在其资助的初始阶段，CAHSI建立了一个有效的组织，并制定了明确的传播战略。CHSI将有效的实践干预措施转移到收养机构，并与关键的专业组织建立了合作关系。这一扩展建立在CAHSI-S实地测试干预措施的基础上--包括课程开发、将本科生引入职业生涯早期的研究，以及培养领导力技能的学生活动--重点是从本科生到教授的学术指导，开发资源基础设施，并继续与行业、专业组织和其他实体建立合作伙伴关系。

The University of Texas - El Paso (UTEP) proposes an Extension to the Computing Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI). CAHSI is an alliance of some of the leading producers of Hispanic science and engineering graduates: California State University-Dominguez Hills, Florida International University, New Mexico State University, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, University of Huston-Downtown, University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez, and UTEP. Its goal is to create a unified voice in order to increase the number of Hispanic students who pursue and complete baccalaureate and advanced degrees in computing. It uses a three-fold strategy that promotes interventions addressing recruitment, retention, and advancement, as well as social science research, and dialogue that leads to collaborations and consolidated efforts. In the initial phase of its funding, CAHSI built an effective organization with well-defined communication strategies. CHSI has transferred effective-practice interventions to adopting institutions, and established collaborations with key professional organizations. This Extension builds upon CAHSI?s field-tested interventions -- including curriculum development, introduction of undergraduates into research early in their career, and student activities that build leadership skills -- with a focus on mentoring across the academic pipeline from the undergraduate level to the professoriate, developing a resource infrastructure, and continuing establishment of partnerships with industry, professional organizations, and other entities.
