CME Diversity Dialogue Series
The NJIT Otto H York Department recently hosted a panel discussion on "Diversity in Engineering: Navigating Industry & Immigration" which featured top immigration lawyers, Neil Dourbaum and Kathleen Peregoy, Connell Folley and various industry engineering experts, Horane Henry, Disney, Chadakarn Sitassichoke, PhD., BMS and Tayo Femi- Fowode, GE Vernova. Over a light lunch, approximately 40 students were able to interact with the guests and discuss steps to landing a job in US industry in spite of immigration challenges. Understanding that the current demand for higher education degree STEM jobs are typically filled by international students, the department recognizes the importance of acknowledging differences in cultural background and immigration status and is committed to preparing its student body with the necessary tool kit and resources to be successful engineers in spite of these disparities.
Hosts: Dr. Kerri-lee Chintersingh and Dr. Richard Cimino, Chair, CME DEI Committee
