Cultural Competence in Computing (3C) Fellows
APPLICATIONS FOR COHORT 5 ARE ACCEPTED FROM OCTOBER 17, 2023 - MARCH 1, 2024! Please review the FAQ, and submit applications here.
Undergraduate computing and STEM departments have long suffered from issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). However, there has been, to date, no large-scale effort that focuses on addressing issues of systemic racism and bias that directly impact not only students from minoritized groups, but also faculty (as issues of race, gender, and intersectionality impact hiring, promotion, and tenure decisions).
The Cultural Competence in Computing (3C) Fellows Program is a cohort-based professional development program that helps computing and STEM faculty, staff, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and professionals: 1)learn more about social science topics (such as identity, intersectionality, racism, bias, and discrimination) and how these topics impact academic environments; and 2)develop sustainable projects (courses, modules, and other activities) at their home institutions that leverage these topics to foster more inclusive and equitable cultures.
The Fellows FAQ answers frequently asked questions about the program and participation.
