Kaitlin N. S. Newhouse
Passionate about designing and executing rigorous higher education research projects that can help faculty and administrators address longstanding inequalities and improve student experiences and outcomes. I am currently working as an Associate Director of Research and Evaluation at the Belk Center for Community College Leadership and Research at NC State, where I primarily manage the PACE Climate Survey for Community Colleges which is designed to assess employee perceptions and satisfaction with various aspects of the campus climate in an effort to improve student and employee outcomes. I completed my PhD in Higher Education and Organizational Change at UCLA, where my dissertation research explored poor and working-class college students' interactions with faculty and whether such interactions improved academic outcomes, with a special focus on racial/ethnic differences among poor and working-class students. While at UCLA, I also worked as a research analyst on the BRAID Research project that explored the efforts of 15 universities to diversify their computing courses and majors. In my previous experience at the Newcomb College Institute I had the unique opportunity to use my B.A. in Gender and Sexuality Studies to manage the Newcomb Scholars Program, a competitive, four-year, co-curricular program for undergraduate women, focused on developing their leadership, research, and writing skills.

Can Computing Be Diversified on "Principles" Alone? Exploring the Role of AP Computer Science Courses in Students' Major and Career Intentions
ACM TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTING EDUCATION, 22(2).
author keywords: AP Computer Science A course/exam; AP Computer Science Principles course/exam; gender and race/ethnicity
TL;DR:
It is indicated that taking APCSA or taking both APCS courses positively predicted students’ major or career aspirations in computing and technology, but that taking only APCSP did not predict long-term computing interest (although positive associations were identified for women).

Better Late Than Never
Proceedings of the 51st ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education.
TL;DR:
The demographic and academic background characteristics of students who took CS1 in their third year or beyond indicate that latecomers came from a variety of academic disciplines and were more likely than computing majors who take CS1 courses earlier in college to be women, however, latecomer who were women were less likely to be recruited to a computing major or minor.

Does AP CS Principles Broaden Participation in Computing?
Proceedings of the 51st ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education.
TL;DR:
It is suggested that while CSP may be recruiting more females and racially diverse students into the course, this course alone may not serve as a direct pipeline into computing majors and careers.
