GIT Community of Practice: Technology and Experiential Education for Public Good

SLS will facilitate a community of practice (CoP) of engineering faculty and students, grassroots partners, Georgia Tech's IDEI office, and the Career Center. With PIT-UN funding, Georgia Tech’s Center for Serve-Learn-Sustain sought to establish a Community of Practice (CoP) comprising engineering faculty, students from three of our largest engineering schools, grassroots partners, and Georgia Tech’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion office (IDEI) and its Career Center. The objectives of the CoP were to establish a PIT career pipeline program in collaboration with IDEI and the Career Centers, with a special focus on underrepresented students, and to build relationships between our engineering schools and our grassroots partners that result in greater PIT-project capacity for both.
