Career Highlight

"This past year was the first time Reddit launched a university tour since the inception of the internship program in 2018. We knew DE&I was at the forefront of any partnership and event we hosted. With that in mind, at all 7 universities we partnered with we hosted an event with at least one organization (majority more than one) that empowered Black, Brown, and female communities in tech. When connecting with these organizations we made sure we were catering to what they wanted to see from us. such as 'day in the lives', game nights, 'how to support your mental health in the workplace', etc. This was important to us because at the end of the day, we are hosting these events for the students."
