Since Spring 2023 CSE has created an innovative space, called the Belonging, Engagement, & Affinity Computer Hangout, for undergraduate students to collaborate and build community. A peer-reviewed conference paper on this program has been accepted to this year’s RESPECT 2024, an ACM SIGCSE Conference. School of Computing faculty members Olga Glebova and Qian Yang, as well as former SoC staff member and current Director of Inclusive Excellence at CETL and the Vergnano Institute for Inclusion, Lara Chiaverini, will be presenting this work at RESPECT 2024 on May 16-17, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia.
