The workshop introduces the Affinity Research Group (ARG) model that provides students with opportunities to learn, use, and integrate the knowledge and skills required for research with those required for cooperative work. The model creates an integrated research environment in which a collective of students and faculty from varied backgrounds contribute to research. Through the ARG model, faculty mentors create and sustain a cooperative environment that explicitly develops skills to make students successful in research, academe, and the workforce. As a result, students and faculty can reach higher levels of productivity and achievement.
The CAHSI Advocates Community-Building Session is a unique opportunity for the CAHSI Student Advocates attending GMiS to learn how to involve students within their respective computing communities and connect them to opportunities with industry partners. CAHSI Student Advocates build and maintain a thriving community by leveraging various strategies such as networking, mentorship, communication, and engagement practices. This session provides professional development activities designed to empower the next generation of technology professionals with the skills necessary to thrive in the workplace and create positive change and transfer knowledge gained to students at their universities.
The CAHSI Cybersecurity workshop training is preparatory for Hackathon participants. Students learn about tools, approaches, and methods adversaries use to exploit vulnerabilities. Students get hands-on experience related to real-life cybersecurity scenarios that include pivoting attacks, cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery, route hijacking, and memory corruption. Sponsors will have an opportunity to collaborate with CAHSI trainers and participate as coaches during the session.

In collaboration with the Consortium of Cybersecurity Clinics and CAHSI, this session provides an opportunity for CAHSI faculty to hear from experts on ways to integrate cybersecurity into pre-existing curriculum or how to create standalone cybersecurity courses.
This session will provide an overview of Generative AI research and Generative AI curriculum integration into CS core classes. Discussion will include barriers faculty may face when adopting Generative AI curriculum and how to address the barriers. In addition, the session will review timelines for curriculum integration.
The CAHSI luncheon brings together the CAHSI community with a focus on celebrating the efforts of CAHSI Student Advocates who connect students at their home institutions with CAHSI opportunities. In addition, CAHSI announces the 2025 CAHSI Student Scholars, students who have made outstanding achievements in the classroom and in the community. The luncheon allots time for sponsors to network with students.
The Data Analytics Challenge is a hands-on competition where students work in pairs to find patterns in and answer questions about a predetermined set of raw data. The session includes an overview on the relevance of data analytics in the workforce. Senior undergraduate students and graduate students are good candidates for this competition. Sponsors have an opportunity to interact with CAHSI students during the session.
*This session is limited to 50-60 students.
The AI Ideation workshop will be centered on ideating on AI-based solutions to problems faced by the community and industry. Groups of faculty will work toward defining research questions to a specific problem and expected outcomes. Using an iterative process with constructive feedback, it is expected that interdisciplinary research teams will emerge with the foundation needed to respond to solicitations and opportunities. In addition, the workshop will inform participants on the AI research and education resources available to the community.
Hors d’oeuvres at 4:00 pm
The CAHSI Hackathon is an interactive learning competition that distills the essence of many aspects of professional computer security work into a “Capture the Flag” exercise. Students work in teams to solve challenges that test their cybersecurity skills. The session encourages students at all skill levels to participate, promotes teamwork, encourages friendly competition with real-time feedback, and motivates students to learn more about how to protect assets controlled by software.
Join us for an engaging session designed for aspiring computer scientists and engineers. This event brings together undergraduate and graduate students pursuing computing degrees with CAHSI faculty, student leaders, and industry partners. Attendees will develop essential social networking skills and build a strong support community. Industry representatives will share their insights and interact with students, offering valuable perspectives on the tech landscape.
Participants of this workshop will learn and apply fundamental machine learning concepts through a series of hands-on activities. Students will discover why machine learning has become one of the most influential and widespread technologies in modern society. Participants will learn how machine learning problems are framed and acquire a basic understanding of how artificial neural networks work.
*This session is limited to 80-100 students.
The Research Poster Competition provides graduate and undergraduate students in STEM, computing, health and medicine, the opportunity to compete and showcase their scientific and technical aptitude. Students submit a comprehensive technical abstract from which the presenters are selected to present their poster and answer questions during the poster session.
Experts from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory will lead this workshop designed to provide an interactive introduction to High-Performance Computing (HPC), focusing on foundational concepts, practical applications, and hands-on exercises. Attendees will explore the basics of supercomputers, learn essential Linux skills, and gain experience with parallel programming using MPI and OpenMP. Through guided exercises, participants will build and run serial and parallel programs, analyze differences in execution, and understand how to manage jobs in an HPC environment. Hands-on exercises conducted in an AWS cluster environment ensure practical exposure to real-world HPC systems, enabling attendees to apply learned concepts directly.
Hors d’oeuvres at 3:30 pm
