Cleveland State University issued the following announcement on Sept. 24.
Cleveland State University has received a four-year, $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation to develop and support college and career pathways for high school students in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) who are interested in pursuing careers in computer science and information technology. A key goal of this project is to broaden participation in the field of computing by providing specific supports to students of color and women – populations that have traditionally been underrepresented in computing and IT careers.
The Cleveland Tech Talent Pipeline project, led by Debbie Jackson, Ed.D., chair of CSU’s department of Teacher Education, is a collaborative initiative involving CSU, CMSD, TECH CORPS and Teaching & Learning Collaborative, Health IT Talent and the Cleveland Foundation. Co-principal investigators are Chansu Yu, Ph.D., professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Brian Harper, Ph.D., JD, associate professor in CSU’s department of Curriculum and Foundations.
