Last week, during Computer Science Education Week, as educators and administrators discussed ways to attract more students—women and minorities especially—to study computer science, we were reminded that it’s not enough to simply encourage under-represented groups to take their first STEM classes. Educators must recognize that they play a major role in keeping these students engaged and supported throughout their academic careers. Traditional class structures can perpetuate feelings of isolation. Attracting women and minorities to computer science is one thing; keeping them there and easing their path to graduation (and beyond) is a separate thing altogether.
