SUMMARY:Best Practices from Organizations on Improving Workplace Diversity
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nDiversity, Education, Hot Topics, Workshop Reg Pass\
 n\nBest Practices from Organizations on Improving Workplace Diversity\n\nH
 illery, Stirm, Ellis, Theademan\n\nPurdue Research Computing has been a pr
 oven leader in cultivating future STEM professionals for over a decade and
  creating a diverse workforce. We have built a pro-diversity and inclusive
  workplace culture that embraces a variety of academic degrees, generation
 s, demographics, expertise, and experience. We are fortunate to be part of
  a broader diversity and recruiting initiative at Purdue University. As we
  celebrate our 150th anniversary as a land-grant institute, we are proud o
 f our university's rich culture.  2018 fall semester, Purdue ranks 3rd in 
 international student enrollment among all public United States colleges a
 nd universities and 2nd in the Big 10. 22% of incoming freshman are a part
  of the minority domestic student population with 12% of the class enrolli
 ng in the Polytechnic Institute, (https://www.admissions.purdue.edu/academ
 ics/enrollment.php). \n\nOur diversity outreach efforts have organically e
 volved to mentoring and developing these diverse students and young profes
 sionals through initiatives like the establishment of the Purdue Women in 
 HPC organization, mentoring Purdue’s first high school team to the 2017 Su
 percomputing Student Cluster Competition, and bringing to the 2018 Superco
 mputing Student Cluster Competition Purdue University’s first all-female t
 eam. Our workplace diversity has developed over time through small increme
 ntal changes. Each successful connection brings new avenues into future po
 ssibilities of additional variety. \n\nWe aspire to cultivate future leade
 rs who will be engaged and empowered to share new ideas through an environ
 ment that champions transparency, communication, and inclusion. We recogni
 ze that diversity is not an “end-state”, and it must remain as a metric we
  always grade ourselves against.
