STEMING FROM THE BLACK DIASPORA IS A CHANCE TO ENGAGE WITH RECRUITERS
AT THE BROAD INSTITUTE OF MIT AND HARVARD AND NETWORK. In celebration
of BLACK HISTORY MONTH, NSBE Boston Professionals
[http://nsbeboston.org] and Shades@Broad
[https://www.broadinstitute.org/]are hosting a panel discussion,
_STEMing from the black diaspora._ This event is a chance for
professionals to learn and engage with The Broad Institute of MIT and
Harvard, recruiters, as well as provide an opportunity for networking.
STEMing from the black diaspora features a panel discussion that
explores the feasibility of building black talent, leadership and
presence in the form of black-centered innovation hubs in the
diaspora.
Our goal is to initiate a series of open discussions that critically
examine:
* Science and technology talent and resources in black communities
* Feasibility of leveraging this pool of talent in different STEM
fields to build black-led trans-disciplinary innovation hubs that
tackle innovation issues relevant to black communities.
The panelist for the event include:
