About the Internet2 Inclusivity Initiative
The Internet2 Inclusivity Initiative (I2I) focuses on resources, attention, and scholarships to improve diversity and inclusion in the community of networking and technical professionals.
The initiative was born out of the alarming dip in women earning CS degrees and other dismal statistics about gender gaps in the IT world. I2I is part of Internet2’s larger commitment to promoting a culture that includes, encourages, supports, and celebrates diverse voices and reflects the communities we serve.
As part of this initiative, we:
- Provide a national forum to discuss and share best practices to improve diversity and inclusion in technical fields, particularly in advanced networking, security, and identity and access management.
- Partner with other national organizations engaged in similar work, such as the National Center for Women in Technology (NCWIT), EDUCAUSE, Minority Serving-Cyberinfrastructure Consortium (MS-CC), Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), Women in Networking at SC (WINS), and others.
- Provide scholarships for emerging information technology women professionals to attend Internet2 events to increase community diversity and inclusion.
