Diversity/Careers Minority College Issue is for diverse tech students and new grads

The Minority College Issue of Diversity/Careers is published twice a year. Readers are juniors, seniors, grad students and new grads majoring in engineering and information technology who are women, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Asian Americans and people with disabilities. Individual issues are mailed free to qualified engineering and information technology students, and distributed at minority technical conferences and career fairs nationwide. 40,000 additional copies of each Diversity/Careers Minority College issue are distributed to Minority and Women in Engineering Program (MEP/WEP) offices, campus minority technical society chapters, and engineering and computer science departments of more than 145 schools, including historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), tribal colleges and other institutions that serve significant numbers of minority students. Articles focus on the concerns of diverse new grads starting their first jobs; co-ops and internships; the job search process; and the entry-level job outlook in specific technical areas. All articles include interviews with diverse technical students and new grads.
