Giving Time Changes Lives
Former Dell Technologies Leader Engaged Students on Development of STEM Platform for Girls
After assuming the position of director of global diversity and inclusion for Dell Technologies, MBA alumna Nitcelle Emanuels dove headfirst into spearheading the Women in Tech platform, a repository of resources for females interested in STEM fields. In order to construct the best product possible, Emanuels engaged with her alma mater. Students from Robinson’s WomenLead program participated in design thinking sessions, and students from the college’s Institute for Insight provided development support. The end result? A platform with the capabilities to provide an arsenal of content including gamified learning, videos, workshops, and a mentor matching tool.
“I remember attending a couple of workshops and being able to approach alumni and ask questions about their career journey. It’s important for me to share my story and let students know that, as an alumna, I’m always available to help.”
MBA/MHA Alumna Passes Georgia State's Energy to the Next Generation
Chinwe Gaines earned her MBA/MHA alongside 40 of her colleagues. That group of students was called the “Wellstar Cohort,” as the hospital system sent a large number of its staff to Robinson to upskill. Gaines definitely built noteworthy new skills. Just six months after graduating, Northside Hospital recruited her to become senior chargemaster analyst.
Gaines found the energy at Georgia State so contagious that she joined the university's Alumni Association board of directors.
“I gained so much from Robinson, and it’s important to pass that on to the next generation. We have to keep the energy going, and engage with and get to know each other.”
