SUMMARY:XSEDE EMPOWER: Engaging Undergraduates in the Work of Advanced Dig
 ital Services and Resources
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\n\nXSEDE EMPOWER: Engaging Undergraduates in the Work
  of Advanced Digital Services and Resources\n\nWeeden\n\nTo address the ne
 ed for a diverse and capable workforce in advanced digital services and re
 sources, the Shodor Education Foundation has been coordinating an undergra
 duate student program for the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery En
 vironment (XSEDE). The name of the program is EMPOWER (Expert Mentoring Pr
 oducing Opportunities for Work, Education, and Research). The goal of the 
 program is to engage a diverse group of undergraduate students in the work
  of XSEDE, matching them with faculty and staff mentors who have projects 
 that make use of XSEDE services and resources or that otherwise prepare st
 udents to use these types of services and resources. Mentors have coordina
 ted projects in computational science and engineering research in many fie
 lds of study as well as systems and user support. Students work for a seme
 ster, quarter, or summer at a time and can participate for up to a year su
 pported by stipends from the program, at different levels depending on exp
 erience. The program has run for ten iterations since summer 2017. The 244
  total applicants have been 29% female and 31% underrepresented minority. 
 The 98 total participants have been 27% female and 30% underrepresented mi
 nority. We are pleased that the selection process does not favor against w
 omen and minorities but would also like to see these proportions increase.
  At least ¼ of the students have presented their work in articles or at co
 nferences, and multiple students credit the program with moving them towar
 ds graduate study or otherwise advancing them in their careers.\n\nTag: Ed
