Establishing partnerships between two-year and four-year institutions is an art form. Join us as we listen in to our expert panel to learn best practices to implement as well as key pitfalls to avoid when aligning curriculum to support student success. We plan to discuss how these partnerships form and how they can help remove existing barriers through the shared lens of empowering women-identifying and underrepresented students in computing. We invite you to bring your experiences and questions to share during our discussion time following the panel.
Panelists:
- Matthew Henry, Assistant Professor and Program Director of IT-Service and Support, Wake Technical Community College, NC
- Melanie Williamson, Professor and Academic Dean, Bluegrass Community and Technical College, KY
- Thu D. Nguyen, Dean of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Professor of Computer Science, Rutgers, NJ
