ASE 2019 (series) / Hilton San Diego Mission Valley /
Diversity and Inclusion
Inspired by SIGCSE’s successful first timer’s lunch, ASE will set aside a section of tables at lunch for first-time conference attendees to meet one another and help to create a cohort peer group that can socially support one another throughout the conference and in future years. A senior member of the community will sit at each table to help introduce those first-timers to the conference and establish social links to long-time conference attendees.
This event is part of a series of events focused on diversity and inclusion; to see a full list of events planned, check out the list of Diversity and Inclusion activities.
Mix and mingle with conference attendees with snacks and drinks!
Diversity and Inclusion
We will facilitate dinner meetups at ASE 2019. Volunteers from various affinity groups (e.g. women, Latinx, African Americans, LGBTQAI+, neurodiverse people, people with disabilities, etc.) will gather after the opening conference reception and invite other interested members of the ASE community to come out to dinner as groups. There are a number of local restaurant options within walking or taxi distance from the conference, from which participants can choose and head over to meet, greet, and eat with one another.

Diversity and Inclusion
To help reinforce the ad hoc affinity groups and promote the visibility of diversity and inclusion efforts at ASE 2019, we have set aside tables at lunch for various women, underrepresented minority, LGBTQIA+, neurodiversity, etc. groups to sit together and talk about issues relevant to their experiences in software engineering and conference activities. Each table is “hosted” by a senior member of the community who also belongs to that affinity group.

The Faculty Mentorship Roundtable program aims to connect junior SE faculty with more senior mentors, and with peers at similar stage of their career. It is intended to provide a low-pressure atmosphere to foster building one’s support group and mentorship.
Participants will have the opportunity to suggest the topics they struggle with, ranging from research directions to career tips to “soft skills” (e.g., managing priorities, a quality process for hiring students, mentoring students to grow into tomorrow’s leaders, etc). Mentors will get to pass along their tips for success in software research and mentoring students.
Since space is limited, application by November 4, 2019 is required. For more details on the process, please visit the Faculty Mentorship Lunch.
