Numerous people were involved in the creation of this report, from providing feedback on early drafts of the CRA Enrollment Survey, to supplying data, to commenting on earlier versions of this report. We thank the following:

Ed Lazowska (University of Washington), Eric Roberts (Stanford University), and James Kurose (National Science Foundation) for first bringing attention to the widespread enrollment surge in computer science.

Andrew Bernat (CRA Executive Director) and the CRA Board for launching the CRA Enrollment Committee to investigate the CS community’s numerous questions about the surge.

Lida Beninson (The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine) and Jan Cuny (National Science Foundation) for their advice as the work of the CRA Enrollment Committee’s Institution Subgroup got underway.

Duncan Buell (University of South Carolina), Ed Lazowska (University of Washington), Leen-Kiat Soh (University of Nebraska), Jane Stout (Computing Research Association), and Jodi Tims (Baldwin Wallace) for their participation on the CRA Enrollment Committee’s Student Subgroup. The Student Subgroup assisted the CRA Enrollment Committee’s Institution Subgroup in several ways, such as providing feedback on the CRA Enrollment Survey and offering suggestions on ways to improve this report.

Anne Condon (University of British Columbia) for evaluating the CRA Enrollment Survey from a Canadian’s perspective.

Yan Timanovsky (ACM) for conducting the CRA Enrollment Survey for non-doctoral granting units in parallel with the ACM NDC survey.

David Morgan (Peerfocus) for implementation of the online survey and for coordination of the doctoral- and non-doctoral granting versions.

Emily Grumbling (The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine) and others at the Computer Science Telecommunications Board for suggesting updates to the CRA Enrollment Survey.

Valerie Taylor (Texas A&M) for suggesting we consider data on underrepresented minorities from minority-serving institutions separately.

Miriah Meyer (University of Utah) and Alex Lex (University of Utah) for their advice on how best to visualize the CRA Enrollment Survey data.

Jeffrey Swenson (Hiram College) for advice on language usage in the report.

The many attendees of the CRA Conference at Snowbird in 2016 who offered their opinions on what this enrollment surge should be called. Special thanks to Jane Stout (Computing Research Association) for suggesting the Generation CS name.

Jack Rosenberger (Editor) for proofreading this report and suggesting valuable improvements.

Shar Steed (Computing Research Association), Kapil Patnaik (IT Consultant, Caretecher), and the graphic designers at Allen Wayne for providing creative design templates and associated web pages.

The numerous responders of the CRA Enrollment Survey (the specific institutions are listed below).

And other individuals who offered valuable suggestions to members of the CRA Enrollment Committee’s Institution Subgroup during the 20+ months that the committee worked on this report.
