Hope you were able to join us at the 2018 Tapia Conference in Orlando, September 19-22, 2018. Our Birds of a Feather event was on Thursday September 20th followed by a Hispanics in Computing Reception sponsored by The Aerospace Corporation.
Birds of a Feather: Hispanics in Computing
Abstract: The main goal of this gathering is to bring together members of an online community to broaden participation of other latinos/hispanics in computing. Every year we recruit new members to the listserv and identify new connections between established members of the community with new students. The gathering usually involves some icebreaking activities as well Q&A for the new members of our community.

Hispanics in Computing Reception Sponsored by the Aerospace Corporation
Join us for an informal reception to discuss how we can increase the participation of Hispanics in Computing. We would like to encourage more Hispanic high school students to pursue careers in computing, more Hispanic college students to pursue research careers in computing, and encourage industry to provide support for the recruitment, mentoring, and retention of Hispanics in Computing. Come meet some of the members of the Hispanics in Computing listserv!
