Dr. Dale Reed is Clinical Professor in the Computer Science department at UIC. As director of CS Recruitment at UIC he has spearheaded UIC CS department undergraduate student population growth from 187 students in 2005 to over 1415 students in 2019, leading the national growth average by ~6%. This growth involved giving over 300 presentations to ~10,000 high school students over the last 12 years, funded in part by an NSF BPC-A grant. Reed double-majored in English and Computer Science at North Park, then obtained his Ph.D. in CS at Northwestern. Dr. Reed has long been invested in CS education for underrepresented minorities, with over two million dollars in career grant funding. Fluent in Spanish, Dr. Reed was PI of the NSF-funded Summer Science Camp from 1992 to 1996, where 90% of the 100 Chicago inner-city middle-school students indicated an increased interest in STEM careers. As co-PI on an NSF SSTEM grant Reed recruited and nurtured 27 Latino, African-American and Female CS students in their CS education at UIC, with 85% of them (23 of 27) going on to tech careers. As a founding member of the Chicago CSTA Reed has run Google-funded CS4HS seminars for multiple years and was part of the team that from 2009-2016 got CS to be a high school graduation requirement in Chicago Public Schools. He has been involved with the replication of the Los Angeles Exploring Computer Science (ECS) grant in Chicago, and was co-PI on that NSF CE21 Taste of Computing grant and the ongoing NSF CafeCS grant, working to increase equity in CS education. As a product of the early version of the ECS Facilitator in Development program, he has been a national ECS PD mentor facilitator. Reed loves to teach, and has learned practical teaching strategies from the high school teachers he has been privileged to get to know, using inquiry to affect equity. Reed believes that access to technology education is a justice issue for our time. He served on his neighborhood school Local School Council (LSC) for 11 years and was a member of the College Board Development Committee for three years establishing the new AP CS Principles (CSP) course. As of October 2019 Reed is on the AnitaB.org Board of Trustees. Reed currently is working with Break Through Tech (BTT) Chicago to propel more women and non-binary students into education and careers in tech. Reed can juggle and ride the unicycle, though not yet at the same time, and rides a skateboard or folding bike around campus.
