2022 in Review

 
               

We had another great year of programming in 2022 to support our mission, to ensure our target communities – African Americans/Blacks, Hispanics/Latinx, Native Americans/Indigenous People and People with Disabilities – are engaged in computing. Here are some highlights from our work in 2022:
  • The four cohorts of the LEAP Alliance worked together to develop strategies to increase faculty diversity in the computing professoriate. 
  • We awarded UC Merced Applied Mathematics Professor Dr. Juan C. Meza the 2022 Richard Tapia Achievement Award for his efforts in fostering more inclusive scientific environments.
  • In collaboration with AccessComputing and CAHSI, we hosted our annual Academic Careers Workshop (ACW) in June, where academic mentors connected with participants from underrepresented communities in computing. 
  • Last but not least, we celebrated diversity in computing in-person for the first time since 2019 with 1,800 attendees at the 2022 Tapia Conference in Washington D.C. in September.
We hope you join us next year. Read on for the latest news and updates from our team and community.
