On 15 July 2020, AIAA convened an interactive panel to discuss institutional transformations that address challenges and provide opportunities for African Americans within the aerospace workforce pipeline. Experts representing government, academia, and industry highlighted examples of initiatives and resources for K-12 and youth development, undergraduate and postgraduate education, and workplace DEI programs.
This session was developed in partnership with the Aerospace Special Interest Group of the National Society of Black Engineers and featured opening remarks from Jandria Alexander, Chair of the AIAA Diversity and Inclusion Working Group.
