We are already connecting students with great partners.
Schools are committed to participating in our programs, and organizations like climate science data leader dClimate, ARC and other sustainability partners, offer students valuable hands-on experiences.
dClimate
R.I.S.E lab at Brown University
The R.I.S.E Lab studies the psychology of group inequality, explicitly focusing on the interplay between people’s preferences and their societal perceptions. The lab primarily investigates intergroup relations, hierarchy, prejudice, mentorship, and racial identity. Its research includes such topics as attitudes toward Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and perspectives toward decision-making algorithms. The lab’s principal investigator, Dr. C. Malik Boykin, holds affiliate positions with Brown University’s Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America (CSREA) and Brown University’s Data Science Institute (DSI). He further amplifies the lab's commitment to understanding and addressing algorithmic biases and promoting inclusivity in higher education through these affiliations.
dClimate is a chain-agnostic decentralized climate information ecosystem. dClimate makes it easy for businesses and builders to find, access, and utilize essential information about our planet to better understand how weather and climate impacts our communities and build data-driven technology solutions for helping communities achieve climate resilience in the 21st century. The dClimate network solves key issues around access, availability, and accountability in the climate data ecosystem with the world’s first decentralized, open marketplace for participants to get and share climate data.
The network also enables an open ecosystem of climate resilience applications like parametric insurance, advanced analytics and models, and tooling to be built on top of the data layer. dClimate is pioneering data infrastructure solutions for scaling global carbon markets, incentivizing regenerative agriculture practices, and bringing increased efficiency to industries affected by climate risk.
Shine Lab at University of Hartford
SHINE Lab focuses on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I), shaping human interactions and enhancing employability through training program development, personnel assessments, and research. With nine years of experience, Dr. Tavarez and her team are dedicated to nurturing diverse talent and preparing students for workplace challenges.
In partnership with InclusionBridge, SHINE Lab co-designs the essential skills training required by budding data scientists to make them work-ready: emotional intelligence, effective communication, self-advocacy, critical thinking, and story telling with data.
