Broadening Participation: The Community College as a Key Partner

摘要

There is a looming shortage of computing professionals in the United States and globally. The shortage of women and minorities further exacerbates this shortage. Community colleges are inherently diverse spaces and can play a significant role in broadening participation in computing (BPC) as well as in adding more graduates to the field. This panel will discuss strategies to include community colleges as a key partner in the conversation on broadening participation. In addition to the broader efforts, the panelists will discuss BPC efforts at their institutions.
