Thompson (D-MS) announced The National Science Foundation has awarded $244,232 to Mississippi Valley State University. This project, entitled "Collaborative Research: CUE-T: HBCU Learning Community-based Intervention in Computing" is under the direction of Latonya Garner. The University of the District of Columbia, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Winston-Salem State University, Mississippi Valley State University, Norfolk State University, and Hampton University will collaborate to develop the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Learning Community-based Intervention in Computing (HBCU LCI-CS). This project will be designed to prepare and retain student populations underrepresented in computing and ultimately increase diversity in the computing workforce. This project team intends to explore the impact of an intercollegiate learning community-based intervention on the retention of underrepresented minority incoming students in computer-related fields. This project seeks to understand how to teach computing effectively to a broad group of students, in a scalable manner, with an emphasis on broadening the participation of groups who are underrepresented and underserved by traditional computing courses and careers. For more information call Latonya Gardner at (662)254-3425. # # # Press Contact | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T00:18:03Z |
