Diversity Initiatives
Khoury College of Computer Sciences is committed to building and fostering a diverse, inclusive environment. We want everyone to feel welcome at Khoury, and our mission of computer science (CS) for everyone underlies every initiative. By opening doors to CS regardless of race, gender, or background, we generate diversity of thought and boost participation in the field, build a more robust and ethical tech sector—and spur more solutions to help more people.

Simply put, the number of women and underrepresented minorities (URMs) in CS and related fields must grow. Dean Carla Brodley, a long-time champion of increasing diversity of thought and demographics, leads a passionate team focused on enhancing our mission by advancing our initiatives. We’re connecting CS to other fields through customized academic programs. We’re hiring faculty, researchers, and staff who integrate interdisciplinary expertise and ensure each student feels included. We’re expanding our efforts to K-12, other universities, and corporate partners. And we’re starting important dialogue with articles like Partnerships Can Help Drive Gender Equality, by Professor of the Practice Jodi Tims.Encouraging more diversity—of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds—at every level of Khoury College means our students and graduates will better reflect today’s global society.

Simply put, the number of graduates in CS from groups traditionally underrepresented in computer science must grow; we need to include and create a sense of belonging to those who share the following identities: Female, Black, Latinx, Hispanic, Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, LBGTQ+, people with disabilities, and the intersectionality of all of the preceding populations. Former dean Carla Brodley, a long-time champion of increasing diversity of thought and demographics, led a passionate team focused on enhancing our mission by advancing our initiatives.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, in 2017 women received 56 percent of bachelor’s degrees, but only 19.5 percent of degrees in computing—down from 37 percent in 1984.
Founded in 2019 and housed at Khoury College, the Center for Inclusive Computing aims to reverse that trend. The Center, funded by a grant from Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation company created by tech leader Melinda Gates, supports universities across the U.S. in implementing evidence-based practices to bring more women into computing—meeting a significant economic need while improving social equity and inclusion.

One key to increasing enrollment of diverse students is to help young learners see CS as a collaborative, creative activity. We’re partnering with Boston Public Schools, as well as other schools in the region and beyond, to demystify CS, dismiss stereotypes, and open up the image of a CS career. Initiatives include:
