CAHSI Mission: Grow and sustain a networked community committed to recruiting, retaining and accelerating the progress of Hispanics in computing.
The University of Houston - Downtown Department of Computer Science & Engineering Technology is dedicated to preparing its student population for success and advancement in the workplace.
CAHSI partners with UHD's ACM Chapter to bring you additional CS technical workshops and opportunities.
ACM's mission is to empower students and help them find their path in CS, Data Science, and MIS. We do so by running a variety of student-led programming workshops, events, and coding competitions. As a member of ACM you get access to ACM's digital Library, and our Slack Workspace where you can meet new people, get homework help, and more. Other benefits include ACM Cyber security and Robotic Labs, ACM Robotathon, and social events such as Bowling, Karoke, Dining, Top Golf, T-shirt, Food at events, ACM Tech Talk, and recruiting events.

We Believe in preparing Hispanic students with the technical qualifications and real-world experiences to shape the future of computing.
We Believe in growing a geographically dispersed network of partners to achieve lasting results.
We Believe that inclusiveness must accompany diversity
By 2030, Hispanics will represent 20% or more of those who earn credentials in computing. CAHSI’s mission is to grow and sustain a networked community committed to recruiting, retaining, and accelerating the progress of Hispanics in computing.
Challenge students’ knowledge so that they are positioned to thrive in the workforce;
Support pedagogical and professional growth for those who can impact Hispanics;
Expand meaningful partnerships that align with strategic regional and national efforts; and
Inform policy through evidence.
The Computing Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI) was formed in 2004 as a grassroots effort to increase the number of Hispanic students who pursue and complete baccalaureate and advanced degrees in computing fields. Recognizing the contributions and importance of 2-year colleges, CAHSI has now formalized the inclusion of 2-year colleges in its 20-30 vision. The Alliance is continually informed and enhanced through social science research and reflection of proven and promising practices.
The core purpose of CAHSI is to create a unified voice in an effort to consolidate the strengths, resources, and concerns of CAHSI institutions that are committed to increase the number of Hispanics who pursue and obtain quality credentials in computing areas.
