Building a Diverse Pipeline of Student Workers in IT

Session Type:
Breakout Session
Delivery Format:
Moderated Discussion
Increasing diversity of IT staff is a strategic IT priority. Student employees are the seedcorn of university IT; however, rarely do IT organizations think strategically about student hiring. UMBC revamped our student hiring process, paying special attention to diversity. The result has helped increase our pool of diverse candidates.
Outcomes: Participants will: 1. Learn how to partner with campus organizations to build student pipelines of diverse students to apply for student IT positions; 2. Learn how these diversity initiatives can include community college transfers through graduate students; and 3. Encourage diverse students to apply for full-time positions in the division.
