Cultivating Next Generation Computing Researchers through Teaching, Mentoring, and Undergraduate Research.
Funded by Google exploreCSRThe Inclusion Triangle is a structured action framework designed to eliminate systemic barriers faced by underserved students in computing.
Three mutually reinforcing interventions that together create a more equitable environment for historically marginalized students in computing.
Connecting students with near-peer mentors who understand their journey and can guide them through challenges in the computing and adjacent major programs.
Training TAs, tutors, and faculties in evidence based inclusive teaching and mentoring practices to create supportive learning environments for all students.
Opening doors to undergraduate research through structured research method courses, summer research programs, and research career preparation.
The Inclusion Triangle consists of faculty, TAs, peer-mentors, all focused on cultivating sense of beloning in undergraduate students and ensuring inclusive learning experinces for all.
