What Is ColorStack?
The National Organization
ColorStack is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with the mission to increase the number of Black and Latinx Computer Science graduates that go on to start rewarding technical careers.
Launched in 2020 and led by Founder Jehron Petty, a 2020 Computer Science graduate from Cornell University, ColorStack is the home for Black and Latinx college Computer Science students to find confidence, community, and career development.
Our Chapter
ColorStack at Carnegie Mellon University
Our History
This chapter of ColorStack was founded in the Fall of 2019 under the name of URMC (Underrepresented Minorities in Computing) but was halted by the pandemic. Revived in 2022, this chapter serves to be both a home and a resource to underrepresented minorities in technical fields.
What We Do
We support students at a local level, increasing the effectiveness of the ColorStack national organization. We accomplish this by providing internship listings, career development workshops, and staying updated on industry insights.
