- The four cohorts of the LEAP Alliance worked together to develop strategies to increase faculty diversity in the computing professoriate.
- We awarded UC Merced Applied Mathematics Professor Dr. Juan C. Meza the 2022 Richard Tapia Achievement Award for his efforts in fostering more inclusive scientific environments.
- In collaboration with AccessComputing and CAHSI, we hosted our annual Academic Careers Workshop (ACW) in June, where academic mentors connected with participants from underrepresented communities in computing.
- Last but not least, we celebrated diversity in computing in-person for the first time since 2019 with 1,800 attendees at the 2022 Tapia Conference in Washington D.C. in September.
