Celebrating diversity in STEM at the 2012 AISES National Conference
December 20, 2012
Google was a proud participant of the
2012 AISES National Conference
, which was held in Anchorage, Alaska in early November. This annual conference is organized by the American Indian Science and Engineering Society and it gives Native American students from around the country the opportunity to attend various STEM related sessions such as tech talks, career development workshops, poster sessions and their annual career fair.
Group shot in our Google earmuffs after dinner!
As an exhibitor at the career fair, Googlers met many motivated students who are building upon their STEM career interests by making the most of the opportunities presented to them both on campus and in the industry. We chatted with a number of students pursuing computer science and IT and were inspired to hear some of their stories about how they continue to pursue their interest in STEM, despite limited access to resources.
Another highlight of the conference was engaging with our 2012
Google AISES Conference Travel Scholarship
recipients and a handful of earlier
Google AISES Scholarship
recipients at a Google-sponsored dinner. We had great conversations about their individual career interests and what it’s like to work at Google while consuming delicious Alaskan food.
Google is proud to partner with the
AISES Organization
on diversity initiatives, including the 2013 Google AISES Scholarship. Applications will open in January 2013.
