We are delighted to welcome Shinya Saito, Caliana Fortin, Trey Sumida, and Timothy Huo into our National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates program for Summer, 2021. They will be developing their software engineering and research skills throughout the summer by readying the RadGrad2 code base for deployment to two departments in Fall 2021, and by performing pilot studies to assess the usability of the system by students, faculty, and advisors.

The RadGrad team has published two articles this fall: "Beyond course work: expanding what's valued in computer science degree programs" in the Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, and "Is GPA enough? A platform for promoting computer science undergraduates' pursuit of career related extracurricular activities", in the International Journal of Technology in Education and Science.

During the Summer of 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the RadGrad Project hosted 11 undergraduates from the University of Hawaii, including four students funded by the NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates program.

We are happy to announce the availability of RadGrad t-shirts for pickup to those students who completed their degree plan in December and filled out the form requesting a tshirt. Please email radgrad@hawaii.edu if you have not already received an email with instructions on how to pick up your t-shirt.

Many thanks to RadGrad undergraduate research assistant Mirabela Medallon for the design!

Are you an undergraduate student in ICS or Computer Engineering? Are you intrigued by the potential for RadGrad to improve the undergraduate experience? Do you want to help change RadGrad for the better? Do you need a paying job (up to $600/week) for the summer, with the possibility of extending it into next year? Would you like to gain research and development experience to improve your resume? Do you want to stay in Hawaii for the summer? Are you interested in a tech stack with IntelliJ IDEA, Javascript, Typescript, React, MongoDB, and Meteor? Do you want to work with a fun group of people? If so, please consider applying to join the RadGrad team as a summer intern!

The RadGrad Project is hoping to find several undergraduate students to participate in the NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates program starting in Summer, 2019.

Philip Johnson gave an introductory presentation on the NSF-supported project to evaluate the impact of RadGrad on engagement, retention, and diversity.

We are delighted to announce that NSF has awarded $300,000 to evaluate ways in which RadGrad can help increase engagement, retention, and diversity in undergraduate computer science.

Danny Weng, an M.S. graduate student in Information and Computer Sciences, has joined the RadGrad team.

During Spring semester, 2018, we are deploying RadGrad into the Department of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Hawaii.
