The CAHSI Student Scholars Leadership Program (SSLP) is a program dedicated to CAHSI Scholars. Every year, CAHSI names students from CAHSI institutions who have demonstrated contributions and continued commitment to impact their community and advance their computing knowledge and skills. Scholars are announced during a ceremony at the annual Great Minds in STEM conference, where they receive a CAHSI Scholar pin and a monetary award from Google, the CAHSI Scholar sponsor.
SSLP is part of a larger CAHSI initiative to build inclusive learning environments at CAHSI institutions. The program empowers CAHSI Scholars to become agents of change by providing them with the training, tools, and practices needed to support diverse and inclusive environments.
A CAHSI Scholar is a student who embodies a spirit of tech exploration, inclusiveness, and community.
