Higher Ed Programs

NCWIT hosts a moderated group email list, NCWIT-HigherEd, to support a year round “community of practice” for NCWIT Alliance member representatives.

The Meeting of the Minds is a web-based discussion series, hosted by the NCWIT Academic Alliance. By bringing together experienced practitioners and evidence based research, the series takes on today’s largest broadening participation challenges in computer science.

NCWIT offers awards that honor faculty’s inclusion efforts relative to their students and departments’ significant positive outcomes in women’s enrollment and graduation rates.

The NCWIT Academic Alliance Seed Fund awards NCWIT Academic Alliance (AA) members at non-profit, U.S. institutions (including U.S. territories) with funds (up to $20,000 per project) to develop and implement initiatives for recruiting or retaining women in computing.

NCWIT Extension Services (ES) guides undergraduate and graduate computing departments in their efforts to strategically reimagine recruitment, retention, and evaluation. Through customized resources, ES helps participants increase declared majors and graduation rates and secure strategic buy-in and participation from colleagues, leaders, advisors, and students themselves for lasting systemic change.
