CRA-W/CDC surveys, Data Buddies Project
This semester we are collecting survey data on students that have graduated, or will graduate between September 1, 2011 – August 31, 2012. We plan on sending surveys out to graduating students by April 30 (perhaps a little sooner), and closing surveys by June 4.
Project website: http://cra.org/databuddies/
The Computing Research Association Committee on the Status of Women (CRA-W) and the Coalition to Diversify Computing (CDC) partnered to launch a national “Data Buddies” project in early 2011. The project is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through a Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) grant.
The purpose of this project is to examine outcomes for undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty from a broad range of computing programs.
