ColorStack is thrilled to reveal its comprehensive list of Colorstack Partners for the fiscal year 2023-2024. These partnerships are instrumental in ColorStack’s mission to support Black and Latinx students as they embark on and navigate their computer science careers. Through a variety of engagements, including enriching workshops, insightful speaking sessions, valuable social events, and crucial recruiting opportunities, ColorStack partners play a vital role in nurturing the next generation of diverse tech talent.
As Jehron Petty, the Founder and CEO of ColorStack, aptly stated, “This year’s partners hold a significance akin to our founding sponsors from three years prior. These are not companies that retreated from university recruiting at the first sign of economic headwinds. These are not companies that considered racial equity as merely a superficial add-on during times of prosperity. These are companies that have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to investing in Black and Latinx technical talent because they understand it is a fundamental business imperative. We extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of them.”
