Ladies of NSBE UMCP Chapter, 2012

I am so very excited to be telling you all that I’m going to the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) Annual Convention on Wednesday! This will be my last convention as a University of Pittsburgh representative and graduate student. What better way to end my time than to go to Anaheim, CA! As I did last year, I will be covering the event each day with blogs/vlogs. Can’t wait!

Join the Discussion: iCCC Panel Luncheon

iCCC15

On Friday, April 3rd at 12:30pm, the Diversity Student Organization and co-sponsors, ASIS&T and Doctoral Guild, will be hosting a 2nd annual panel luncheon with Dean Ronald Larsen and other  insightful faculty. Take a look at the recap of last year’s event here!

This event is an open forum where students can ask featured panelists questions around topics that we think are the important “3 C’s” of an iSchool: Careers, Curricula, and Careers.

While we completely understand that this may be a time of religious observance or heavy workload, we ask that you take the time that you have, whether 5 minutes or the full 2 hours to come share your thoughts on the iSchool. The Diversity Student Organization wants to make a difference in the school and we cannot do this without your help and participation!

If you would like to participate or have any questions/suggestions, please do not hesitate to email us dso.pitt@gmail.com or talk directly to me at jourdan.ischool.pitt@gmail.com.
