This year’s Diversity in Analytics and Leadership Program (DIAL) will consist of five sessions, targeted to begin in late August 2022 and conclude in October 2022. All of the program sessions will be conducted via Zoom.
The mentoring program is a critical component of DIAL and connects students with current professionals in the fields of education and data analysis. The mentoring component will take place outside of the DIAL sessions. After the launch of the DIAL program in late August, we encourage mentors to consider the following guidelines:
