Computing Engagement and Awareness Workshop: Session 3

The Computing Research Association launched the UR2PhD program in efforts to increase the number of quality undergraduate research opportunities and to close the gap between a first research experience and a successful PhD application for women and gender-marginalized groups. The workshop is part of the Computing Research Engagement and Awareness Workshop Series, which intends to provide students with opportunities to learn more about computing research, engage with active researchers, and build community with peers in the field. "How will my research change the world?" aims to show how impactful computing research can be -- not just for individual researchers, but also for the field and society at large. The session featured lightning talks from three current PhD students: Alberta Ansah, University of New Hampshire Alex Cabral, Harvard University Dani Perry, University of California, San Diego
