Community College HPC Internship
About the internship program
Our program is a 9-week
summer research internship for community college faculty and instructors
teaching in a computing field. Participants will spend nine weeks working with
a research mentor on a project that will be reflected in a future community
college courses. The stipend for the internship is $9000. Participants work
full-time on a group or independent research project, and participate in
workshops focused on computational research. The program is a collaboration
between Research Computing, the Departments of Computer Science and Applied
Mathematics at the University of Colorado at Boulder and two organizations
committed to increasing the diversity of information technology and computer
science education and work, the National Center for Women & IT (NCWIT) and
the Colorado Coalition for Gender & IT (CCGIT). Both NCWIT and CCGIT make
extensive use of tested practices to recruit and retain women and
underrepresented minorities at all points of the pathways that lead into
pathways from K-12 settings, to technical jobs, to advanced computing
professions. Over the past several years, CCGIT has established itself as an
expert in non-traditional pathways into IT, focusing on partnerships with
community colleges, workforce development centers, and the military.
