Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of representing SLAC at the Atlanta University Center Consortium’s Dual Engineering Degree program’s scholarship award ceremony. Did you know that SLAC has been awarding these career-changing awards for over 20 years? I even had the opportunity to meet an award recipient from the class of 2003 who is now a senior engineer for a leading wireless technology corporation. We are looking at ways to invite our award recipients to SLAC for tours and to participate in our summer programs, like SAGE and the CORE Science Institute (CSI), as mentors and advisors. We have so much to offer in the way of employee engagement and connectedness - ERG-sponsored activities like SLAC Reads, the Women@SLAC Mentorship Program, LGBTQ+ Pride, as well as the MSI Colloquia, industry conferences, Juneteenth, and the launch of our DEI+ Employee Resource Center (coming soon). If I am able to arrange visits for this year’s award recipients, will you join me in showing them the best of SLAC and the Bay Area?

Feel free to email me at nvholder@slac.stanford.edu with your ideas.
