Baseline

 

 

For the panel discussion we have created #Hashtag - #HBCUDean with the objective to

1)  Establish and create awareness of the following social media landing pages

 

 

HBCUDean - Twitter   https://twitter.com/HBCUBusiness

HBCUDean - LinkedIn  https://goo.gl/Mp6nDq

We will promote these landing pages to all member school and Business Dean's to follow, "Like" and share.  We will also ask the Business School Dean's in attendance to encourage their faculty, students and staff to follow and join for daily HBCU business news, early career employment opportunities, internships and HBCU related content.

2)  Promote the College Diversity Job Board (powered by YourMembership and Racing Toward Diversity http://goo.gl/gvptka 

3)  Via social media we are asking our panelist and participating companies to post a minimum of three (3) social media posts, and or photos with the #HBCUDean hashtag

Takeaway's

 

Gail Johnson; Vice President - Leadership Development & Diversity Initiatives - AT&T take away's from #HBCUDean event

 

1. This HBCU platform is needed yet is not widely known by corporate America. 
2. The dialogue was rich and appropriate.

3. We need to conclude with next steps.

 

Timothy J. Zanni - Managing Partner @KPMG_US Silicon Valley take away's from the #HBCUDean event

 1)   We must build broadly diverse workforces.

2)   We must support and celebrate the diversity of our people.

3)  We must encourage young people to use their diversity as a centerpiece of their pitch to employers and demonstrate how their personal diversity can be an asset to the organization.

 

Fred Wise  HR Director – Recruiting, Diversity & Inclusion  @Hallmark Cards, Inc. take away's from #HBCUDean event

 

1) Number of HBCU’s – larger number than I or others may have thought.

2) Opportunity for great leverage of Roundtable’s social site to connect schools and employers.

3) Opportunity for Roundtable to develop best-practice playbook across HBCU’s
