CAHSI Allyship Program
The CAHSI Allyship Program is designed to uplift and support undergraduate students in computing by fostering meaningful peer connections. If you are currently taking fundamental courses, you will be paired with a fellow student – an Ally – who has successfully completed the data structures course and is excited to help you thrive.
Together, Protégés and Allies join monthly cohort meetings led by CAHSI faculty and staff, where you will grow professionally, share experiences, and build lasting connections. Throughout the academic year, pairs meet regularly.
