A program that develops and supports collaborations between industry partners and institutions of higher education that serve historically excluded populations.
The participant completed the Fall 2023 DxD Intensives program, a collaboration between Workday, an enterprise management cloud company, and San Francisco State University, a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and home to the nation’s first College of Ethnic Studies.
Coursework in Spring 2023 centered around the challenge: Create a high-fidelity product that educates and empowers diverse communities to take action around environmental sustainability in greater numbers — to provide student participants with industry experience, touchpoints to a professional network, and a highly relevant project for their continued design career.
Participants spent the semester addressing product capabilities, user experiences and constraints, and collaborating with their peers and interfacing with their Workday Mentors.
DxD Intensives – which develops and supports collaborations between industry partners and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) of higher education – is a program of the Diversify by Design (DxD) coalition.
