Organizations
- Center for Latino Educational Excellence - research to provide guidance for Latino leadership - across public, non-profit, and private sectors - on how to better the current systems of education that are, on many levels, failing Latino youth and adults.
- NCWIT - the National Center for Women & Information Technology. NCWIT leverages the work of organizations across the country. Through our support for our Alliance members - whose programs include outreach, retention, curriculum reform, research, and leadership, and image programs - NCWIT's work connects the entire pipeline, from K-12 and higher education through industry and academic careers. NCWIT's national infrastructure of Alliances, workshops, research, publications, and evaluation provides our Alliance members with the tools and support to increase girls' and women's participation in their programs and undertake institutional change within their organizations. Member organizations identify and implement best practices for recruiting, retaining, and advancing women, and through NCWIT, work to build accelerated results.
- CRA - Computing Research Association - has a variety of resources, including the linked Taulbee Survey results. The Taulbee Survey is the principal source of information on the enrollment, production, and employment of Ph.D.s in computer science and computer engineering (CS & CE) and in providing salary and demographic data for faculty in CS & CE in North America. Statistics given include gender and ethnicity breakdowns.
