The Virginia Tech Department of Computer Science views diversity as an important component of success, and therefore seeks to establish and maintain an inclusive and supportive environment for all students. We are committed to recruiting and retaining women and minorities who are traditionally underrepresented in this field. Our activities are targeted at all populations, thus providing opportunities for our students to develop interests that will help prepare them for future computer fields. We are building a strong community within the Department of Computer Science that embraces the contributions that minority groups can provide to engineering research and projects. In so doing, we can work to find the best solutions to global technology challenges.
