The Institute for African-American Mentoring in Computing Sciences (iAAMCS, pronounced ‘i am cs’) serves as a national resource for all African-American computer science students and faculty. The objective of iAAMCS is to increase the number of African-Americans receiving Ph.D. degrees in computing sciences, promote and engage students in teaching and training opportunities, and add more diverse researchers into the advanced technology workforce.
During Summer 2016, iAAMCS will hold its first conference with the objective of serving as a National Society for Blacks in Computing (NSBC). NSBC will be held on June 9-11th at the Twelve Hotel (Atlantic Station) in Atlanta, Georgia. For more information on NSBC, click here.
