Скачать или смотреть EDGE Summit Convenes Leaders Around Diversity in Tech

The EDGE Consortium—a coalition of universities and engineering schools with women presidents and deans of engineering—convened a summit of educators, lawmakers, and industry leaders in Washington, D.C., in October to discuss what Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock has called the "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" of the $52.7 billion federal CHIPS and Science Act.

Their goal is to bring more women and underrepresented minorities into careers in the semiconductor industry.

The Oct. 24 summit, Building a More Inclusive and Resilient Semiconductor Workforce, was led by President Beilock and Indiana University President Pamela Whitten.

The event brought together a bipartisan coalition of educators, lawmakers, officials, and private sector leaders to the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center to seed cross-sector partnerships to take advantage of the CHIPS Act's unprecedented funding to transform the demographic makeup of the semiconductor industry specifically and of STEM fields more generally.
