Attractions academic degree

As highlighted earlier in my talk, P G is committed to building a diverse workforce, and our R D community is no exception. However, our ability to attract and hire the best minority scientists is directly impacted by the fact that the number of minority candidates with advanced science degrees is woefully small. P G cannot immediately or directly fill this academic pipeline, but we can help by providing a demand for such candidates, and thus indirectly attract more minority students to pursue science careers. Because all aspects of our education system are potential feeders into this pipeline, we take the opportunity to interact with all phases of education and, in the end, hopefully make a positive difference.
