Umoja Empowerment, our employee resource group (ERG) that supports Black employees and allies to lead, contribute, and thrive within the organization, hosted their second annual Industry Day event for Howard University’s students in the College of Engineering and Architecture. The event was held at our Fairfax, Virginia, office, providing a day filled with many educational opportunities. The students met with our college recruitment team to submit their resumes and took professional headshots to prepare them for the workforce. The students attended a Q&A with our CEO Don Stone, shadowed working professionals, participated in industry-specific activities and presentations, and networked with senior leaders. Malyka Norville, a recent Howard University graduate who also participated in last year’s Industry Day as a student, shared about her experience of joining Dewberry as a full-time employee after graduation. As an alumni of Howard University, Malyka shared insights about the importance of building professional networks and making the most out of career learning opportunities like Industry Day. We enjoyed spending the day with the students and we’re looking forward to seeing them grow into their careers. Thank you all for visiting us!? #DewberryCares #ERGatDewberry
