  Dear DS Colleagues,
We’re excited about this upcoming webinar to show what our students learned this summer about disabled people in the tech industry. Sign up and spread the word!

“Beyond Diversity 101:
Learning from the Perspectives of People with Disabilities in Tech.”
A Free Webinar, Tuesday August 22, 2-3:30pm

You are invited to join us for a free webinar, presented by the Longmore Institute on Disability at San Francisco State University. Whether you're a recruiter, manager, human resource professional, or disabled person interested in pursuing a career in tech, you won't want to miss this opportunity to learn from disabled people's insider stories of success and stigma, of barriers and breakthroughs.

“There’s this trend in the industry of diversity and tech conversations either leaving out disability altogether or mentioning it as a bullet point but nobody knows yet what to do or where to go.”- Ian Smith, Software Engineer, PlanGrid
