AB  - The Computing Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI), a NSF national INCLUDES alliance, is focused on advancing students in attaining credentials in computing, and this Work in Progress (WIP) paper focuses on its latest effort in advancing undergraduate computer science majors into graduate school to address the low numbers of Hispanics, or Latinx, attaining graduate degrees in computer science. Using a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) framework, CAHSI expands adoption of evidence-based, multi-institutional graduate support structures that lead to Latinx students’ success in their graduate studies. The strategic student-success efforts address well-documented barriers, e.g., feeling of isolation, lack of support structures, deficit thinking, and negative departmental climate. With new partnerships to include nine Carnegie-classified R1 HSIs, CAHSI is poised to expand its involvement with industry, non-profits, and national labs to unify the Alliance in accelerating change by bridging and preparing undergraduates who succeed in graduate programs. The WIP paper also describes an embedded research component in this new effort to incorporate higher education scholarship on organizational culture and leadership; inter-institutional partnerships; and HSIs’ distinctive institutional contexts. With a dearth of research in exploring the experiences of Latinx graduate students at HSI graduate programs, the social science research aims to define a model of “servingness“ in graduate computing education grounded in organizational contexts of HSIs that are transferable and adaptable to all institutions invested in broadening participation in computing. The research uses a qualitative multiple-case study approach to examine the phenomenon of organizational behavior and development of the national alliance partnerships. This approach is appropriate for exploring contextual conditions that promote Latinx graduate student success and alliance partnerships that foster success in computing.
