Throughout the three-day event, Ty attended several “how to” workshops on topics of interest, including: how to investigate cyberattacks, how to obtain an internship, and how to ensure accessible and inclusive digital design.
“Thank you to the UC San Diego Computer Science Engineering’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee for sponsoring my attendance at this event. This support is invaluable and greatly enhances my journey as an undergraduate student in computer science,” he said.
The Alan Turing Memorial Scholarship and the Alan Turing Memorial Teradata Scholarship are open to undergraduates who are active supporters of the LGBTQIA+ community and majoring in computer science, computer engineering, public policy, communications, and other programs touching on networked systems. They are awarded to students based on academic merit, with a preference for those with demonstrated financial need.
In February 2020, CNS reached its endowment goal of $250,000 for the Alan Turing Memorial Scholarship, for an annual award of $10,000. In 2021, the Teradata Corporation donated $50,000 to endow a second scholarship, the Alan Turing Memorial Teradata Scholarship, which gives an additional annual award of $2,000.
