As the CIFellows from the 2020 and 2021 cohorts have ended or are wrapping up their fellowships, CCC will hold one more Symposium to celebrate the success of the CIFellows program, and their ongoing research. We are excited to gather fellows and mentors from both cohorts and reflect on the program from start to finish. Fellows will also be given an opportunity to share their research with their peers. The Symposium will be co-located with the CRA Board meeting to provide an opportunity for Fellows to meet Board members and learn about the role of CRA in computing research.
