Computer Science Summer Research (CSSR) @ Dartmouth

Overview

CSSR @ Dartmouth seeks to provide an avenue for training and equipping more undergraduate students to pursue advanced degrees; improve diversity in the pipeline of educators and leaders in technology that take on grand challenges issues in society; prepare and recruit promising candidates for graduate studies at Dartmouth.

It is well-known that Computer Science has one of the lowest representations of women and ethnic minorities earning bachelors degrees in the field, and significantly fewer earning masters and doctorate degrees (1,2).

*Our mission is to change the statistic by making a concerted effort to improve diversity in the pipeline and develop more qualified candidates equipped to take on leadership roles in various technology-based enterprises.

CSSR @ Dartmouth is:

An 8-week fully-paid summer internship that enables students to conduct research under the guidance of an amazing Computer Science Faculty at Dartmouth
Designed for students interested in exploring and/or pursing graduate school in Computer Science or Engineering
Encouraging students from underrepresented populations in Computer Science or Engineering to apply including women and members of ethnic or racially underrepresented groups (e.g. Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, American Indian/Alaskan Native or other Native Pacific Islander)
