Our Mission

"We exist to increase the number of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous Computer Science graduates at the University of Minnesota who go on to launch rewarding technical careers."

ColorStack at the University of Minnesota is an inclusive student organization focused on bolstering the representation and success of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous students within computing disciplines. We drive this mission forward in the heart of the Midwest, leveraging UMN's vast resources and the Twin Cities' thriving tech ecosystem to create meaningful change in tech diversity.

Founded to build community, create opportunities, and foster excellence among underrepresented students in computing fields, we offer tailored professional development workshops, mentorship connections with industry leaders, technical skill-building sessions, and career opportunities aligned with UMN's computing curriculum. Our membership is open to all students passionate about increasing diversity in technology, regardless of major, background, or experience level.

Through community-building activities and events, ColorStack fosters a sense of solidarity and belonging, providing a supportive network that celebrates diversity and promotes equity in tech at the University of Minnesota.
