Racing Toward Diversity
Racing Toward Diversity Magazine states it "showcases today's best diversity efforts and initiatives". The Summer, 2015 edition highlights educational change agents among which are myself and the LEΔD Institute.

Diversity and inclusion propel dynamic ingenuity at the highest levels of the company, helping HP win in the marketplace while creating lasting impact in the industry and beyond.
With diversity at our core, HP aligns our words with real actions – including embracing new, creative ways to become the employer of choice for women and underrepresented groups in technology. The HP HBCU Business Challenge is a perfect example of this. Launched earlier this year to reflect the messages in our first ad spot in the “Reinvent Mindsets” series, this new business-case competition embodies our commitment to investing in our future workforce by engaging university students capable of reinventing the landscape.
Cultivating new and diverse talent pipelines

First place team for PC Services Innovation track: Xavier University of Louisiana
HP partnered with the National HBCU Business Deans Roundtable to provide over 80 historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) with a chance to participate in the competition, which challenged participating teams to submit a written business plan and qualified them for a chance to present to HP senior leaders. 17 HCBU campuses submitted plans across two tracks – PC Services Innovation and Office Print Relevance.
Fields Jackson, Executive Director of the National HBCU Business Deans Roundtable and CEO of Racing Toward Diversity magazine, helped bring the competition to life. He partnered with HP to enable the National HBCU Business Deans Roundtable further its primary goal: to better prepare students for the workforce while equipping them with opportunities to participate in real-world business initiatives.
