📚This
#NationalHigherEducationDay we want to highlight AJL’s first intern
@rajiinio !
We admire Deborah’s commitment to making higher education accessible to all. As the founder of
@projectinclude, she works to improve access to engineering education in low income and immigrant communities in the Greater Toronto Area.
She’s also a
@mozilla fellow, and PhD candidate in Computer Science at
@UCBerkeley. Her advocacy for AI accountability spans work with AJL and the
@AINowInstitute.
Already recognized as an innovator to watch by
@Forbes,
@MIT Tech Review, and
@TIME – we can't wait to see what incredible things she does next! 👏
If you're not already following her, make sure you do!
