Broadening Participation RESPECT 2015 Research in Equity and Sustained Participation in Engineering, Computing, and Technology Charlotte, NC, August 13-14, 2015 RESPECT 2015 will be the first international meeting sponsored by the IEEE Special Technical Community on Broadening Participation. As worldwide demand for computing professionals increases, it is essential to create a more diverse workforce in order to drive creativity and provide equal opportunity. Research on how to address these factors is necessary in order to create a collective global strategy to improve participation in the computing sciences.
