Khoury SHEROs of Color
Description:
Khoury SHEROs of Color is a Northeastern University affinity group that was established to support international and domestic graduate female students of color belonging to Khoury College of Computer Sciences. SHEROs mission is to create a sense of belonging and unity through addressing the unique academic and professional challenges faced by female academics of color in Computer Sciences and related fields; sharing academic and professional STEM resources; and bridging cultural gaps through celebrating our diverse cultures and identities. In pursuit of SHEROs mission, SHEROs executes workshops in collaboration with faculty, industry professionals, alumni, and other student groups and activities that promote inclusion and deeper appreciation for the rich backgrounds of our members.
To extend its mission further, SHEROs initiated the establishment of an ACM-W Student Chapter at Northeastern University’s Boston campus. This chapter seeks to enhance SHEROS commitment to advocating for women in computing by creating a platform that promotes leadership, professional development, and greater representation of women in computer science. By aligning with ACM-W’s broader mission, SHEROs hopes to provide even more opportunities for mentorship, career advancement, and academic support, fostering a future where women of color excel in STEM.
