Digital Learners to Leaders Program Named as Finalist for Prestigious Technology Association of Georgia Award
A program developed by the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) at Georgia State University was named as a finalist for a Technology Association of Georgia Diversity Leadership Award.
The program, Digital Learners to Leaders (DLL), was developed by CETL to address underrepresentation of women and minorities in STEM careers and the technology industry. DLL works to advance student understanding of digital literacy by encouraging program participants to create digital solutions to urban challenges.
With the help of professionals in Atlanta, DLL is designed not only to teach students STEM topics, but also to mentor and provide students with necessary skills for successfully entering the workforce.
The program was nominated for the leadership award just one year after its implementation by CETL.
