UNCF honors Google as Corporation of the Year
March 24, 2011
Each year the
United Negro College Fund
(UNCF) honors a corporate partner with the UNCF Award for Corporation of the Year. We are honored to announce that Google received this recognition at the annual awards ceremony in Oakland, CA, this year.
At the awards gala, the audience enjoyed a video (included below) highlighting Google’s work with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and our
scholarship program
with UNCF. Tara Canobbio, K-12 Programs Specialist and a leader of the Black Googlers Network, accepted the award on behalf of Google and was joined by 20 Googlers who are also members of various
Employee Resource Groups
.
The Google-UNCF Relationship
UNCF’s mission is to enhance the quality of education by providing financial assistance to deserving students, raising operating funds for member colleges and universities, and increasing access to technology for students and faculty at HBCUs. Google supports UNCF’s efforts by providing up to 20 computer science students with $10,000 in academic scholarships each year. Google-UNCF Scholars are also invited to attend the Annual Google Scholars’ Retreat at the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA. Launched in 2006, the program is now in its fifth year. Applications for the
Google-UNCF Scholarship
2011 are due May 31, 2011.
Continuing Our Investment in HBCUs
Our investment in HBCUs extends beyond our scholarship partnership with UNCF. We support HBCUs by participating in institutional programs that further the schools’ goals of corporate exposure and pipeline retention. We also make financial contributions to computer science program development at five HBCU partner schools - Morehouse College, Spelman College, Howard University, Hampton University and North Carolina A&T University - and an additional donation to the Howard Middle School for Mathematics and Science. And the support doesn’t stop there. To date, we’ve helped ten HBCU’s “Go Google” and transition their schools onto
Google Apps for Education
, including Tuskegee University.
Our financial and in-kind support of HBCUs is part of our larger effort to increase diversity in the technology industry, not just in our workforce, but also within the universities that are educating the next generation of digital leaders.
The Future
We are excited about the future of our partnerships with UNCF and HBCUs as we leverage Google products to increase access to educational content in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as promote entrepreneurship and innovation in education.
