Northeastern University Center for Inclusive Computing (NU CIC)

The Center for Inclusive Computing—founded in 2019 at Northeastern’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences—awards funding to colleges and universities to scale best practices that increase the representation of women in undergraduate computing.

We serve as a catalyst so that universities can take the lead in educating more women in computing, both to meet economic need and address issues of social inequity and exclusion. Best practices are well documented and widely known, yet stagnant percentages indicate that progress has been slow. To accelerate change, we focus on three key initiatives: grant making, technical assistance, and data analysis.
