The Computing Alliance of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (CAHSI) was formed as a grassroots effort to increase the number of Hispanic students who pursue and complete baccalaureate and advanced degrees in the Computer and Information Sciences and Engineering (CISE) areas. CAHSI is comprised of the following institutions: California State University-Dominguez Hills (CSU-DH), Florida International University (FIU), New Mexico State University (NMSU), Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (TAMUCC), University of Houston-Downtown (UHD), University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (UPRM), and the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). CAHSI institutions have made a difference in the number of students graduating in baccalaureate programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) areas. Contrasting total numbers of Hispanic computer science graduates from CAHSI institutions and from non-CAHSI HSIs in Texas, California, Florida, and New Mexico, we find that CAHSI institutions graduated 52%, or 178 students out of 328 total Hispanic graduates from all public HSIs in 2005-2006.
