Harvey Mudd College Computer Science Professor Ran Libeskind-Hadas has been elected to serve on the Computing Research Association (CRA) board, marking the first time a faculty member from a primarily undergraduate institution has held the position.<\/p>\n
\u201cCRA supports undergraduate research in a number of ways (e.g., through the CRA Undergraduate Research Award program as well as through their CRA-Education Committee),\u201d says Libeskind-Hadas, R. Michael Shanahan Professor of Computer Science. \u201cHowever, in broader policy discussions, four-year colleges have been unrepresented. I hope to be able to call attention to the need to continue encouraging and supporting undergraduate research in order to maintain a healthy pipeline of students going on to do graduate work in computing and to provide information and resources for graduate students who are interested in pursuing careers at PUIs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Libeskind-Hadas will attend committee meetings twice a year to discuss ways to continue promoting the health of computing research in North America.<\/p>\n
\u201cCRA provides information sessions on Capitol Hill, advice and position statements to cognizant federal agencies, supports a number of subcommittees (CRA-Education, CRA Women, among others), and conducts studies on various aspects of the computing research enterprise in academia and industry,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Harvey Mudd joins research universities, private research labs and a small number of other undergraduate colleges as a member of CRA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
