Cultural Competence in Computing (3C) Fellows

WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW APPLICATIONS FOR NEW COHORTS OF 3C FELLOWS. PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR ANY UPDATES.

Undergraduate computing and STEM departments have long suffered from issues related to broadening participation. However, there has been, to date, no large-scale effort that focuses on addressing people, policies, and practices that directly impact not only students, but also faculty (as these experiences often impact hiring, promotion, and tenure decisions).

The Cultural Competence in Computing (3C) Fellows Program is a two-year, cohort-based, virtual professional development program that helps computing faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students: 1)learn more social science topics and their connections to academic environments and technologies; and 2)develop sustainable projects (courses, modules, and other activities) at their home institutions that leverage these topics, making direct connections between the technologies and the environments, historical contexts, and the long-term impacts on both technology creators and consumers.

The Fellows FAQ answers frequently asked questions about the program and participation.
