Computing & US: About

Our Mission

The Computing and US community gives voices to those historically marginalized in the field of computing. We address social, environmental, and psychological issues that lead to threats to belonging in the computing and computing research. We are equipped to help students pursue computing research that increases the pursuit of computing research by black students. We also facilitate increasing the number of students, interested in, and equipped to pursue computing research.
