The University of Washington (UW) seeks an extension for the Alliance for Access to Computing Careers (AccessComputing). AccessComputing aims to increase the number of students with disabilities who successfully complete post secondary degrees in computing and enter the computing workforce. It is lead by a collaboration between the Department of Computer Science and Engineering and the DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) Center at UW and it includes Gallaudet University, the Rochester Institute of Technology/National Technical Institute for the Deaf, and Landmark College as partners. The AccessComputing alliance engages individuals with disabilities as well as those who support, serve, guide, educate, and employ them. Specifically, this extension will (1) increase the capacity of postsecondary institutions, precollege educators, veterans associations, other projects that broaden participation in computing, and industry to fully include individuals with disabilities in computing fields; (2) create synergistic and lasting relationships among stakeholders to foster systemic changes toward inclusiveness in computing education and careers; (3) implement evidence-based practices (e.g., mentoring, internships) to increase the number of individuals with disabilities moving through critical junctures to computing careers; and (4) expand an online resource center to share research and promising practices worldwide. Applying methods grounded in multidisciplinary knowledge management, collaboration, and social network theory and practice, the AccessComputing Extension will formalize earlier and new relationships into a multi-tier organizational structure of partners, collaborators, and affiliates. Outcomes for individuals with disabilities will be documented by tracking the progress of student participants as well as institutional enrollment and graduation data; results will be compared to local, regional, and national data with respect to the academic and career success of people with disabilities.

华盛顿大学 (UW) 寻求扩展计算职业联盟 (AccessComputing)。 AccessComputing 旨在增加成功完成计算机专业中学后学位并进入计算机劳动力队伍的残疾学生数量。它由威斯康星大学计算机科学与工程系和 DO-IT（残疾、机会、互联网工作和技术）中心合作领导，其中包括加劳德特大学、罗彻斯特理工学院/国家聋人技术研究所和地标学院作为合作伙伴。 AccessComputing 联盟吸引了残疾人以及那些支持、服务、指导、教育和雇用他们的人。具体来说，这一扩展将 (1) 提高高等教育机构、大学预科教育工作者、退伍军人协会、其他扩大计算参与的项目和行业的能力，以将残疾人充分纳入计算领域； (2) 在利益相关者之间建立协同和持久的关系，以促进计算机教育和职业包容性的系统性变革； (3) 实施循证实践（例如指导、实习），以增加残疾人在关键时刻进入计算机职业的数量； (4) 扩大在线资源中心，以在全球范围内分享研究成果和有前景的实践。 AccessComputing Extension 应用基于多学科知识管理、协作以及社交网络理论和实践的方法，将早期和新的关系正式化为合作伙伴、合作者和附属机构的多层组织结构。将通过跟踪学生参与者的进度以及机构入学和毕业数据来记录残疾人的成果；结果将与有关残疾人学业和职业成功的地方、区域和国家数据进行比较。
