The Bangor Daily News reported that Penny Rheingans, professor and director of the School of Computing and Information Science at the University of Maine, leads a team of UMaine faculty and staff committed to finding the barriers to computing students’ success and tackling them head-on. This team was recently awarded nearly $1.5 million from the National Science Foundation for a six-year project that will fund scholarships and support programming for 30 full-time UMaine high-achieving, low-income students pursuing bachelor’s degrees in computer science. The resulting program will be named the Computing Community for Good.
