SUMMARY:Best Practices from Organizations on Improving Workplace Diversity
DESCRIPTION:Elizabett Hillery, Claire Stirm, Carolyn Ellis, and Laura Thea
 deman (Purdue University)\n\nPurdue Research Computing has been a proven l
 eader in cultivating future STEM professionals for over a decade and creat
 ing a diverse workforce. We have built a pro-diversity and inclusive workp
 lace culture that embraces a variety of academic degrees, generations, dem
 ographics, expertise, and experience. We are fortunate to be part of a bro
 ader diversity and recruiting initiative at Purdue University. As we celeb
 rate our 150th anniversary as a land-grant institute, we are proud of our 
 university's rich culture.  2018 fall semester, Purdue ranks 3rd in intern
 ational student enrollment among all public United States colleges and uni
 versities and 2nd in the Big 10. 22% of incoming freshman are a part of th
 e minority domestic student population with 12% of the class enrolling in 
 the Polytechnic Institute, (https://www.admissions.purdue.edu/academics/en
 rollment.php). \n\nOur diversity outreach efforts have organically evolved
  to mentoring and developing these diverse students and young professional
 s through initiatives like the establishment of the Purdue Women in HPC or
 ganization, mentoring Purdue’s first high school team to the 2017 Supercom
 puting Student Cluster Competition, and bringing to the 2018 Supercomputin
 g Student Cluster Competition Purdue University’s first all-female team. O
 ur workplace diversity has developed over time through small incremental c
 hanges. Each successful connection brings new avenues into future possibil
 ities of additional variety. \n\nWe aspire to cultivate future leaders who
  will be engaged and empowered to share new ideas through an environment t
 hat champions transparency, communication, and inclusion. We recognize tha
 t diversity is not an “end-state”, and it must remain as a metric we alway
 s grade ourselves against.\n\nTag: Diversity, Education, Hot Topics\n\nReg
