About PAC Program
The Program for Acceleration in Computer Science Careers (PAC) was founded by the Asbury Park-Neptune chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity in partnership with Monmouth University in 1985. Since its inception, the program has taken place at Monmouth University’s School of Science, Technology and Engineering.
PAC serves as a complement to the formal education of minority students. It makes available the experiences and talents of many minority technical and professionals in science, engineering and technology. The program annually provides computer, math, heritage and special subject classes to minority students in Monmouth and Ocean County. To date, the program has served over 1150 children over 22 years.
Careers in Computer Science
The PAC program helps to prepare minority students academically for careers in computer science. The goal is to close the gap of people of color studying software disciplines. The program achieves this by increasing students’ awareness of computer science job opportunities and career paths. Throughout the years the PAC Program has provided ample minority role models. They communicated how to have positive attitudes when working in the field.

Parent and lawyer Kaye Daniels emphasized the importance on how mathematics has worked with the students knowledge of seeing everyday life as a math equation.
