The Future is Now: Black History in the Making

The SCS Office of Community Engagement, in collaboration with HCII,  invites you to attend the School of Computer Science inaugural Black History Month event.  

Join us for a panel discussion celebrating Black excellence in computer science. We’ll spotlight pioneering Black innovators who shaped the field, hear from five current Black SCS students about their experiences and perspectives, and engage with critical questions about technology’s impact on marginalized communities through the lens of scholars like Ruha Benjamin and Timnit Gebru. This event honors both the contributions of Black technologists throughout history and the ongoing work to build a more equitable tech future.

Lunch will be provided.

RSVP → please register if you plan to attend.
