 CMPS
Student Community for Outreach, Retention and Excellence
CMPS S.C.O.R.E. is a student community committed to the recruitment,
retention, and graduation of Black, Latino/a, and Native American
students in the College of Computer, Mathematical and Physical
Sciences. The members of this organization are from diverse
backgrounds and share a commitment to creating a supportive
community where students are able to network with other CMPS
students, engage in internship and mentoring opportunities,
participate in academic support programs and embrace the surrounding
campus and local community through outreach activities.
Association
of Women in Computing (AWC)
The AWC is a group of women in the Computer Science department
who are interested in encouraging women to enter this area
of study and to join the ranks of women in the field. In present
years the number of women in the field has been declining.
It is our purpose, through the establishment of a support
system including mentoring, group tutoring, and study group
formation, to end this decline. AWC's activities include social
events, company speakers and seminars. More information can
be obtained by emailing a representative at awc@cs.umd.edu.
Women in
Math (WIM)
WIM is an organization dedicated to
serving the needs of women mathematicians at UMCP. Members
organize a number of events which include monthly luncheons
and biweekly graduate women discussions. Interested students
and the university community can obtain information through
an electronic newsletter and organizational website. These
two resources contain information regarding scholarships,
conferences, career opportunities, and pertinent women issues.
