CERP Offers New Resource

The CRA Center for Evaluating the Research Pipeline (CERP) is an evaluation and research center designed to help increase diversity in the field of computing research.

Since May 2013, the CERP team has published a graphic in each issue of Computing Research News (CRN) that analyzes the experiences of underrepresented students and professionals in computing. Each month, CERP’s newsletter will share the infographic published in CRN and news about CERP. If you are interested in receiving this newsletter, subscribe here.

Recent CERP infographics include:

• Participation Rate in Computing-Related Contests Highest Among Men, and Among Asian Students

• Nearly 10 Years Later, CRA-W Career Mentoring Workshop Participants are More Advanced in their Careers Than Non-Participants

• Difficulties with Coursework Make Students Consider Leaving Computing; Job Prospects and Support from Friends and Family Help Students Stay

• After Leaving Computing, New Majors Tend to Differ by Gender
